A 2 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
You will be addicted to making this 2 minute chocolate mug cake recipe idea for a quick and simple dessert. Adding some melted chocolate over it and inserting some of the amazing nut chocolate spread or Nutella and its egg free. Which is so tasty and gives the mug cake a soft middle. Just microwaving this mug cake in 2 minutes is the quickest dessert you will ever make. Yummy snack or treat to microwave quickly for tea or coffee for visitors.
Why did my mug cake explode?
The mug was obviously overfilled and when the cake mixture rises it will over flow and mess and maybe explode in the microwave.
What is a Mug Cake?
A mug cake is literally that. It is a cake in a mug that is microwaved in less than a minute.
Why are mug cakes so popular?
They are so easy and quick to make and make a single serving. You can double it and make two mugs full. When you craving something nice or a cake then you do not have to take out all your bowls and mixers then to bake the cake and wait. This one takes 2 minutes or less and its mixed all in one bowl.
Why are mug cakes chewy?
If your mug cake is chewy then you probably over cooked it, or you had to much liquid. Maybe start with the minimum microwaving time and test it then if not done, microwave it for a few more seconds. Until tested done. All microwaves are different so I would recommend this strategy. Leave the mug cakes to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Are mug cakes supposed to be gooey?
The microwave mug cakes should be moist and soft in the middle. Maybe you cooked them for to short a time. Rather test them if they are to your liking first then put the microwave on for a few more seconds to cook to moist but done. Always leave the microwaved mug cake to rest for at leas t10 minutes before eating. They are still cooking.
