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.

Tips for a Perfect Molten Lava Cake in a Mug:

- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is recommended. - Don't overcook the cake. The center of the cake should be slightly undercooked and runny for the molten lava effect. - Make sure the mug is large enough to accommodate the rising cake. A 12-ounce mug is a good size. - Use a microwave-safe mug that is free of cracks or damage. - Be careful when handling the hot mug and cake. - Serve the cake immediately with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

The molten lava cake in a mug is an easy and delicious dessert that can be made in just minutes. With its rich chocolate flavor and gooey center, it's sure to be a hit with family and friends. It's also a great way to satisfy your chocolate cravings without having to bake a whole cake. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give this molten lava cake in a mug a try. You won't be disappointed!
