FIVE-MINUTE MUG CAKE



Five-Minute Mug Cake image

I found this cake on a food blog (http://alladither.typepad.com/halfassedkitchen/) and had to try it. As a college student, I'm always looking for quick, easy recipes that can be made without a lot of fuss, and this is PERFECT. No oven necessary-- just a few basic ingredients, a microwave, and a coffee mug. Delicious and simple!

Time 5m

Yield 1 cups of cake, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons raw sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 egg
3 tablespoons vanilla-flavored soymilk
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 dash vanilla extract
2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Place dry ingredients into a microwave safe mug and stir well.
  • add egg and stir.
  • add soy milk, apple sauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla and stir.
  • add chocolate chips and stir.
  • Place in microwave and cook for 3 minutes at full power (1000 watts). The batter will rise/inflate while cooking -- don't worry - it won't spill over.
  • Let cool and eat right out of the mug!
  • NOTE: Original recipe called for all purpose flour, 4 tablespoons of sugar, 3 tablespoons of oil, and a greased mug so the cake can slide out after cooling. To be honest, I found the serving a bit too large, but I'm not accustomed to eating such big servings of dessert!
