CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE RECIPE

Try my delicious 4 ingredient gluten free and low carb 1-minute flourless Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe that is light and fluffy and uses simple ingredients.

Provided by Carol Lovett

Categories     Dessert

Time 3m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large egg
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp preferred sweetener, I like using a little bit of raw honey, but if you are not used to making anything low carb you might prefer to start with 2-3 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener.
1/4 tsp baking soda

Steps:

  • In a bowl mix together the egg, cocoa powder, and sweetener. Lastly add the baking soda and mix.
  • Pour the batter into microwavable silicone cupcake liners, or 1 medium bowl (to make a small cake), or 3 small bowls (to make it cupcake size), people often use a coffee mug too. I found that one batch made 3 cupcakes. *If you are using bowls or a coffee mug you should lightly grease the inside with butter, coconut oil, or your preferred cooking fat.
  • Microwave all three cupcakes at once for 1 minute or until baked. *Note, the batter will rise very high at first and then deflate as it is finished baking.
  • Test the cupcakes for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the middle. If the toothpick comes out clean it is finished, if not microwave for a few more seconds.

MINI CHOCOLATE CAKE



Mini Chocolate Cake image

This mini chocolate cake for two is perfect for celebrating anniversaries, date night or just because: chocolate. The cake has a crumb that is one notch closer to pound cake than boxed cake mix, which I love. The ganache on top is my obsession. I almost never remember to put butter on the counter to soften for cake frosting, and a 2-minute chocolate ganache solves that problem. The pomegranate seeds are just, well, pretty. And crunchy. And tart. And very welcome.

Time 50m

Yield One 6-inch cake (2 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup neutral oil (like canola or grapeseed), plus more for the pan
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup full-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon warm coffee
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup heavy cream
Splash light corn syrup, optional (to keep the frosting smooth)
1/3 cup pomegranate arils, for garnish

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the cake: Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 6-inch round cake pan with 2-inch sides with oil then line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside. Whisk together the egg, sugar, oil, sour cream, coffee and vanilla in a small bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake starts to pull away from the sides, 29 to 32 minutes. If you under bake the cake, it will slightly sink, so check it!
  • Remove the cake from the pan by carefully running a paring knife along the edge to loosen, then tilting it into one hand and peeling off the parchment from the bottom; place it on a small cake stand.
  • For the ganache: Combine the chocolate, cream and corn syrup if using, in a double boiler or a heat-proof bowl fitted over a small saucepan of simmering water. Stir over medium heat until melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. (Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate and cream in the microwave on low in 25-second intervals, stirring between each.)
  • Pour the ganache over the cake, and garnish with the pomegranate arils.
