I had Martin Luther King, Jr. Day off of work, and of course I was itching to bake. I pondered making some cinnamon rolls but didn't think it would make sense if there were just two of us to enjoy these at home.
This 2-minute chocolate and salted caramel mug cake recipe has been on my "to bake" list for some time. I was going to head off to the (skating) rink and decided to make these on a whim. My husband could enjoy it after I left and after our daughter went down for her nap.
This mug cake literally took about 5 minutes to put together, from start to finish. I was initially worried about the size of my coffee mug, but it worked out perfectly. Instead of adding a salted caramel, I added just one homemade caramel that I had in our refrigerator. I didn't get to try any of the cake until after I got home, so it was about 2 hours old at that point. The top of the cake had dried out, but the middle was good. My suggestion is to make this when you are ready to eat it so the cake doesn't lose any moisture.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (I used dark cocoa powder)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg – beaten
- 3 tablespoons skim milk (I used soy milk)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 salted caramels (I used one homemade caramel)
Directions
Into a small bowl mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, salt, egg, milk, and vegetable oil.
Pour mixture into a regular sized coffee mug. Drop caramels into center of mixture one at a time.
Microwave on high for one minute and 30 seconds. If needed {if cake batter is still gooey}, microwave on high for up to an additional 30 seconds.
