Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 tablespoons white whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt (a good pinch)
3 tablespoons milk (any kind you like (I used unsweetened almond milk))
2 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon peanut butter (almond butter, or other nut butter of choice)
2 tablespoons dark or semisweet chocolate chips (for an extra fudgy cake, add 1 additional tablespoon)
Optional toppings for serving: vanilla frozen yogurt

Steps:

In the bottom of a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and peanut butter. With a fork, stir until smoothly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Place the mug on a paper towel in the microwave to catch any drips. Microwave on HIGH for 90 seconds, just until a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. The center will be batter-like and molten. Do not over microwave or the cake will be dry. It may take a little experimenting, depending upon the power of your microwave and width of your mug. Wider mugs will cook more quickly, while taller, narrower mugs may need a little more time.
Let cool at least 3 full minutes (the cake will continue to cook a bit as it cools, and the cake will be very hot). Add any desired toppings. DEVOUR.

If you Google "mug cake," you'll get more than 100 million results for the one-serving cake that's baked in a mug in the microwave. Yet finding the right recipe - not too dense, not too sweet - is harder than one might hope. This version, adapted from "Baking Class: 50 Fun Recipes Kids Will Love to Bake!" by Deanna F. Cook, is great, and requires just a few pantry staples. For a molten chocolate mug cake, sprinkle the top with some mini chocolate chips before popping it into the microwave, then remove it a few seconds early. This cute little cake may have been developed for children, but everyone loves it.

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 egg
A few drops vanilla extract
3 to 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, to taste
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
A pinch of kosher salt
1 teaspoon mini chocolate chips (optional)
Confectioners' sugar or vanilla ice cream (optional)

Steps:

Microwave the butter in a microwave-safe mug in 10-second increments until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Crack the egg into a small bowl; add the vanilla and whisk to combine using a small whisk or fork. Pour the egg mixture into the mug over the butter and whisk to combine.
Add the sugar, cocoa powder and salt and whisk until mostly smooth (a few lumps are O.K.). Scrape down the sides the best you can with a spoon or a small silicone spatula. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips, if desired.
Cook in the microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Sift a little confectioners' sugar on top or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired. Dig in with a spoon.
