Provided by Chef John

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Chocolate Cake Recipes

Time 17m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large egg
¼ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds
1 ½ tablespoons miniature semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons milk
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon confectioners' sugar
¼ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, or as needed

Steps:

  • Whisk egg, sugar, salt, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth. Stir coconut, almonds, and chocolate chips into the mixture; whisk in milk.
  • Place flour into a small bowl or measuring cup and stir baking powder into flour with a mini whisk or fork. Pour flour mixture over batter and whisk just until you can't see visible flour.
  • Divide batter evenly between 2 coffee cups. Gently tap the cups on a work surface to eliminate air bubbles.
  • Place cups into microwave oven, one at a time. Microwave each cup on High for 45 seconds. Nothing will happen in the first 30 seconds; in the last 10 to 15 seconds, batter will begin to rise in the cup. Cooked cake will collapse after microwaving. Remove from oven and let cool 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Lightly dust each serving with confectioners' sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cocoa. Place each coffee cup onto a saucer and serve.

3-MINUTE MOLTEN DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE



3-Minute Molten Double Chocolate Mug Cake image

Jessie Sheehan's easy 3-minute chocolate mug cake recipe is rich, tender, and moist, with a soft center reminiscent of a molten lava cake.

Provided by Jessie Sheehan

Time 3m

Yield Yield: 1 mug cake

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
½ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
½ tsp. vanilla extract
3 Tbsp. sour cream
½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. kosher salt
3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. Dutch-processed cocoa powder
3 Tbsp. semisweet chocolate chips
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Stir together the oil and sugar in a 12- or 14- ounce ceramic, microwave- safe mug, using a fork. Stir in the egg yolk and vanilla, and then the sour cream. Stir in the baking powder and salt, and then the flour and cocoa powder.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips and microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave (in my microwave, 1 ½ minutes is just about golden). The cake is done when it rises above the edge of the mug (or close to it) and its top looks glossy and set, but not wet.
  • Let cool briefly- it will collapse-sorry, but true. The center will be more molten-like than cake-like, very soft, and very hot-be careful! Enjoy ASAP with vanilla ice cream.

EASY MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE CAKE



Easy Microwave Chocolate Cake image

This is a quick and easy chocolate cake you can cook in the microwave in 2 minutes. And it tastes great. Really! The consistency is dense and cakey. It would go well with chocolate (or your favorite) chips, nuts, or served warm with hot fudge. This cake, 'born' out of a pregnancy craving, worked out amazingly!

Provided by Laura

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Chocolate Cake Recipes

Time 8m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons butter, softened
¼ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup milk
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Spray a medium microwave-safe bowl with non-stick spray and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk; blend together. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt; blend into the mixture until smooth. Pour into greased bowl.
  • Cover and cook in the microwave on high for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, or until cake springs back when touched. Since all microwaves cook differently, adjust the cooking time to accommodate your machine. To serve, let the cake cool five minutes, then cover the bowl with a plate and turn both bowl and plate upside down so the cake falls onto the plate.

Tips:

  • Use the right mug: Choose a mug that is microwave-safe and holds at least 1 cup of liquid.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter until it is just combined.
  • Don't microwave the cake for too long: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool slightly before eating: The cake will continue to cook as it cools. Let it cool for a minute or two before digging in.
  • Get creative with your toppings: You can top the cake with anything you like, such as whipped cream, ice cream, chocolate chips, or berries.

Conclusion:

This 3-minute chocolate cake in a cup is a quick and easy dessert that is perfect for chocolate lovers. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious, warm chocolate cake in just minutes. So next time you have a chocolate craving, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
