Trouble Making a Coffee Mug Chocolate Cake

RE: Trouble Making a Coffee Mug Chocolate Cake Post By Noel L. (Guest Post) (11/29/2008) The recipe doesn't call for salt, and it should. It makes all the difference.

I found that adding a pinch of salt and a tablespoon more each of sugar and cocoa powder made it much more rich and flavorful.

That may be just what you need! Good luck!

Here it is: Microwave Cake in a cup A microwave safe cup, 12 ounces or around that. Cooking spray Ingredients: 2 tablespoons flour 1 &1/2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 2 teaspoons cocoa powder A pinch of salt 2 tablespoons milk 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 3/4 teaspoon oil Spray your cup with cooking spray, just enough to coat the cup. In a bowl(I mixed it in the cup), mix together all your ingredients and stir well. Now pour this batter into your cup. Put the cup in the microwave and cook it on full power for 60 seconds. Depending on the power of your microwave, and your altitude (go figure) you may have to cook the cake longer. Only cook in additional 15 second intervals, because an overcooked cake is no good, and it's even worse because you're microwaving it. Trust me, you think an overcooked cake out of the oven is dry and yucky, try having a solid wedge of dry microwave cake sometime. No fun. Once your cake is finished, it should be nice and fluffy. Now to serve it. Take a plate and a butter knife, and gently turn your cup over, letting the cake slide out of the cup. Guide it with soft presses of the butter knife, and once it's out, set the cup aside to be washed.

I also found the flavor not very chocolatey. But it's a fun idea that just begs fooling around with until you get it the way you want it.

The only thing I did change was to measure the vanilla out to one half teaspoon. Also, I used heaping tablespoons of the cocoa. I sprayed the mug with cooking spray for easy removal and clean up. I sprinkled it with powdered sugar before eating. It was very rich and full of chocolate flavor. Adding extra ingredients as suggested would also add to the flavor. It was big enough to share but since no one was home when I made it, I was forced to eat the whole thing! This is really a dangerous recipe... then name suits it perfectly.

It was fun to do... and to watch baking......... but the flavor needs some tweaking. I'm going to play with it......of course I'll have to eat all the "mistakes"! Darn! Report Spam or Abuse
