Cupcake in a mug in 5 minutes in the microwave

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 5 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a cupcake in a mug in 5 minutes in the microwave? Very simple. Prepare all the necessary ingredients. I used Nutella spread as a filling for the cupcake. If you don’t want to, you can take a piece of chocolate, it will also be delicious.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the dry ingredients through a sieve into a bowl - flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Choose high-quality cocoa without additives, this may affect the taste of the finished cupcake.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mix everything well with a whisk.

4. STEP 4

   

   Break the egg into a separate bowl, pour in the milk and vegetable oil. Wash the egg with a cleaning agent before use, as there may be harmful bacteria on its surface.

5. STEP 5

   

   Mix everything thoroughly with a fork until the products are completely combined.

6. STEP 6

   

   Now combine the liquid ingredients with the dry ones. Add in parts, as you may need a little less or more flour than indicated, be guided by the required consistency of the dough.

7. STEP 7

   

   Mix well with a whisk. The dough should be homogeneous, not very liquid, but not very thick. It should flow slowly from the spoon.

8. STEP 8

   

   Take a mug with a volume of at least 350 ml so that the cake does not run away during baking; fill it about 2/3 with dough. If you want, you can lightly grease the mug with oil. I don’t do this, the butter is already in the dough and the cake rises perfectly from the mug. Place our filling in the center of the dough - in my case it is a teaspoon of Nutella paste.

9. STEP 9

   

   The power of my microwave is 800 W. Place the mug with the dough in the microwave and turn it on for 2 minutes. This time is enough for the cake to bake and not become rubbery. If you think that there is not enough time, add literally another half a minute, but no more. And if you have a more powerful microwave, then start with a minute and a half of cooking. It's better not to hold on than to over hold.

10. STEP 10

    

    Our microwave chocolate cake is ready! I easily took it out of the cup in which it was being prepared into another cup - as you can see, even without greasing the mug, the cake did not stick.

11. STEP 11

    

    If you wish, you can sprinkle the cupcake with powdered sugar, top it with sour cream or add fresh fruit - everything is to your taste! The Nutella paste created a liquid center inside - the cupcake turned out delicious!

12. STEP 12

    

    Cook for your health and bon appetit!

Before this, I made a cupcake in a mug only once, and I completely lost all desire to repeat this “masterpiece.” Therefore, at first I was skeptical about the idea of ​​baking a cupcake in the microwave. But... I wanted something delicious right now, I didn’t want to wait for the whole pie to be baked, so I decided))) What I want to say, it’s just a bomb! I didn’t lubricate the mug either, the product came off immediately and the mug itself was easily washed. In just 2 minutes, a miracle happened in the microwave) The cake turned out even and completely baked inside. The pulp is evenly porous and baked. I didn't add any filling. It's incredibly delicious, like a very chocolate cake. It is moderately moist, absolutely not dry, soft and juicy. Simply perfect! The quantity of products is precisely calculated. Now I have found the best recipe for chocolate mug cake. Thank you so much for the recipe!

Surprisingly, everything worked out for me, although I baked it in the oven at 800 power for 3 minutes. but in a small bowl, I was afraid that it wouldn’t come out of the cup. I changed the recipe a little, flour 30 g 10 g. oatmeal, added a little salt to the egg for whipping, the rest according to your recipe. I took a photo of a cut of the dough, and in my opinion and taste it was a success. And most importantly it’s delicious! Thanks a lot to the author!
