CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO MUG CAKE

This rich chocolate mug cake has a touch of espresso, enhancing the bittersweet tones of the chocolate and making this mug cake even more pleasurable. This recipe should come out to be a nice chocolate espresso moist cake. I personally love this mug cake and enjoyed it with a scoop vanilla ice cream. This is perfect mug cake for anyone looking for a cake the combines both coffee and chocolate. This one is perfect for those nights or mornings where you just want a quick and easy cake. A lot of microwave vary in their cooking settings so you may find your espresso mug cake may need a little longer or a little less cooking. This is simply cooked in a 800W microwave set on the highest setting.

We were so delighted when we tried this recipe and it comes out too yummy.

Every time you will get a well-cooked cake in less than five minutes. So treat yourself with something simple, easy and something that is soft and chocolaty dessert that satisfy your sweet tooth or impress your guests with this chocolate espresso mug cake just within five minutes.

3 tablespoon All Purpose Flour

1 teaspoon Instant Coffee Powder

¼ teaspoon Baking Powder

2 tablespoon Milk

1 Egg

2 tablespoon Oil  [I used vegetable oil]

½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract

METHOD:

STEP 1 – In a mixing bowl combine all purpose flour, coffee powder, sugar and baking powder. Mix the dry ingredients and mix well.

STEP 2 – Add milk, egg, oil and vanilla extract, stir with a fork. Mix both the mixtures from step 1 and step 2, until combined together. Ensure that no lumps are there.

STEP 3 – Grease the coffee mugs with some clarified butter. Pour this ready cake batter in to the mug.

STEP 4 – Now microwave the mug on high for 90 seconds [or a few seconds more] until cooked through. [ do not overcook]

STEP 5 – Serve this ready mug cakes plain or with a scoop of Vanilla Ice cream or simply dust the powdered sugar. You can serve it with heavy cream or whipping cream also.

Serve this hot chocolate mug cakes with a chilled vanilla ice cream and enjoy.

NOTE: You can replace the cocoa powder with drinking chocolate mix. Keep in mind this will make sweeter so you may need to reduce the sugar a little bit.

As I mentioned above in the recipe cream and ice cream both goes really well this recipe. If you feel like spoiling yourself a little more then sure to try fresh or frozen raspberries.
