We're on Mug Cake week.
So simple and easy to make. Not to mention fast. No waiting around for the oven. Instant (almost) gratification. And cheap to make. Just a little of this, a little of that.
I was undecided about posting this one. I told you at the beginning, we tried about 10 different mug cake recipes. Not all of them were good. The kids and I didn't really care for this one, at least not as much as some of the others, but my mom loved this one. This was her favorite. Everyone's tastes are different.
And it's only 3 ingredients, a few minutes to make and bake. Then dig in.
So mug cakes are like pizza, everyone has their favorites and everyone usually likes something different. So try it. This one may be your favorite.
Gooey Chocolate Mug Cake
from Family Kitchen
1 egg
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Combine your ingredients well, then spoon into 1 large mug or 2 small mugs. This will rise up then settle back down. Microwave for 50-60 seconds on high. Do not over cook. Grab your spoon and dig in while still warm.
A few of my taste testers!

ReplyDeleteThey look droolworthy!
ReplyDeleteAnother great one. I could eat it every day.
ReplyDeleteGreat mug cake. I found you via the Real Housewives of Riverton Recipe Round up. I linked in a post about a retro dish called Coronation Chicken. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and the recipes you post! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I can't believe those three ingredients turn into a gooey chocolate cake! They look great.
ReplyDeleteI don't make cakes often, because my little family won't eat the whole thing & I end up eating most of it. Although I love the convenience of boxed cake mixes, the cakes are just too big. I would be interested in finding a recipe to buy a boxed cake mix, divide it into smaller portions, bag them & freeze them, & then pull one out at a time to mix with a couple other ingredients & make a mug cake. Do you know how to do this?
