Description

The BETTER 5-minute Chocolate Cake in a Mug.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Flour
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 3 Tablespoons Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Oil Or Melted Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Brandy (or Other Liquor)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Preparation

1. Mix flour, sugar, cocoa and salt in a large mug.
2. Add all other ingredients.
3. Cook in the microwave for 2 1/2 – 3 minutes. (My microwave cooks hot/fast so I only needed 2 1/2 minutes, but you might need the full 3 minutes. You may need to play with this.)
4. Let sit in the microwave for 1 minute.
5. Take out, put onto a plate and enjoy!

This cake is a lot like what you would expect out of a flourless chocolate cake. It is very rich and satisfying and you *might* need to share this with someone else. Then again, maybe you won’t want to. ;)

What a great treat for a chocoholic like me! I replaced the Brandy with water and served it with whipped cream. So yummy!

I love this stuff, I did have had it made exactly according to recipe and then this way:

1 tablespoon flour
3 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
pinch of sea salt
1 farm fresh egg
2 tablespoons of oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk
3 tablespoons POM 100% Pomegranate Juice

SO good! It reminded me of eating a chocolate covered cranberry (though there are none in it)

Very good! What I liked best was that I didn’t have a ton of leftovers :)
