Gooey Chocolate Mug Cake for Two
Description
This recipe mixes dry ingredients including flour, sugar, cocoa, and salt, then combines them with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to produce a batter. Mini chocolate chips are folded in for added bursts of chocolate.
The batter is split between two microwave-safe mugs and cooked simultaneously for about two minutes. Microwave times may vary, so the recommended time gives a moist, slightly gooey interior contrasted with cooked edges. Allowing the cakes to cool enhances texture and eating experience.
These mug cakes are best served fresh within a couple of hours. As they cool, the chocolate chips solidify, making the texture less gooey but still enjoyable.
The recipe is useful for a quick dessert when only two servings are needed, with minimal preparation and cleanup.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 kosher salt big pinches
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup butter melted, unsalted
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- ¼ cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips plus 2 teaspoons to sprinkle over batter
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Add milk, butter, and vanilla. Stir well to incorporate.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of the mini chocolate chips. Then divide batter between 2 microwave-safe cups (my cup holds 6 fluid ounces). Sprinkle the top of each cup of batter with an additional 1 teaspoon of mini chocolate chips.
- Microwave both cups at the same time on high power for 2 minutes. Microwave strength varies, so adjust accordingly. The cakes should be cooked, but very moist, and a bit gooey in the middle. If you like your cake extra soft and gooey, cook for a bit less time. Allow cakes to cool for about 10 minutes prior to eating.
- These are best when eaten within an hour or two of making them. As they cool, the chocolate chips will harden, so the cakes will be less gooey. But they're still very good. ;)
Notes
- For best results, adjust microwave time according to your appliance to achieve desired gooeyness.
- Consume the cakes within a couple of hours as the texture changes as they cool and chocolate hardens.
