3-MINUTE MOLTEN DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE



3-Minute Molten Double Chocolate Mug Cake image

Jessie Sheehan's easy 3-minute chocolate mug cake recipe is rich, tender, and moist, with a soft center reminiscent of a molten lava cake.

Provided by Jessie Sheehan

Time 3m

Yield Yield: 1 mug cake

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
½ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
½ tsp. vanilla extract
3 Tbsp. sour cream
½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. kosher salt
3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. Dutch-processed cocoa powder
3 Tbsp. semisweet chocolate chips
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Stir together the oil and sugar in a 12- or 14- ounce ceramic, microwave- safe mug, using a fork. Stir in the egg yolk and vanilla, and then the sour cream. Stir in the baking powder and salt, and then the flour and cocoa powder.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips and microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave (in my microwave, 1 ½ minutes is just about golden). The cake is done when it rises above the edge of the mug (or close to it) and its top looks glossy and set, but not wet.
  • Let cool briefly- it will collapse-sorry, but true. The center will be more molten-like than cake-like, very soft, and very hot-be careful! Enjoy ASAP with vanilla ice cream.

Provided by Julia Reed

Categories     dessert

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound chocolate with a cocoa-solids content of at least 70 percent
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
6 eggs, preferably organic

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425. Generously grease a 10-inch springform cake pan and line with baking parchment.
  • Break the chocolate into pieces and melt with the butter in a bowl over simmering water.
  • In a separate bowl over simmering water, beat the eggs until they start to thicken. Remove from heat and beat about 4 or 5 more minutes. Fold half the eggs into the melted chocolate, then fold in the remainder. Pour the batter into the pan and cover with buttered foil.
  • Place in a bain-marie of very hot water. It is essential, if the cake is to cook evenly, that the water comes halfway up the side of the cake pan.
  • Bake for five minutes, remove the foil and bake for 10 minutes longer until just set. Remove from the water and cool in the pan. Unmold when completely cool.

Tips:

  • Prepare ingredients and tools in advance: Measure and gather all ingredients, preheat oven, grease and flour the baking pan before starting to mix the batter.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of chocolate directly impacts the final flavor of the cake. Opt for high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking can dry out the cake. It's better to underbake slightly than overbake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.

Conclusion:

This decadent and delicious chocolate cake is the perfect treat for any chocolate lover. With its moist, rich crumb and creamy frosting, it's sure to be a hit at any gathering. The best part is that it can be made in just 20 minutes, making it a great option for busy weeknights or last-minute dessert cravings. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is sure to impress. So preheat your oven and get ready to indulge in a slice of chocolate heaven!
