This week at Beavers we learnt ‘virtually’ how to make mug cakes. Here is the recipe we used.
Ingredients (dry)
- 1/4 cup of flour
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- a pinch of salt
Ingredients (wet)
- 1/4 cup + tablespoon of milk
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Ingredients (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips
Instructions:
1/ place all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix together
2/ add wet ingredients into the same bowl and mix until smooth
3/ place into a microwavable mug (you may have to scrape sides of bowl to get all mixture into mug)
4/ sprinkle chocolate chips (or extra ingredients) onto top middle of mixture – no need to stir them in
5/ with a microwave of 950W place into microwave for 70 seconds or for an 850W microwave place in for 80 seconds etc.
6/ take care when removing mug from microwave as it’ll be hot
7/ if your cake does not feel ‘cakey/spongy’ place in microwave for an extra 10 seconds
8/ wait for cake to cool down before eating
