Recipe's preparation

    This only takes 5 mins from cupboard to cooked!
  1. Place butter in Closed lid"Closed lid" and melt for 2 min, 100C Spd 1

     

    Add Plain Flour, Caster Sugar, Cocoa, Baking Powder, Salt, Milk, Eggs & Vanilla. Mix 1 Min, Spd 4 MC On

     

    Divide into 2 LARGE coffee mugs or ramekins.

     

    Place the chocolate pieces in the center of the mug.

    Do not push down; it will sink as it cooks.

     

    Drizzle the tablespoon of water right on top of the batter.

     

    Cook in microwave on full power for 1 minute and 20 seconds to 2 minutes. 

Tip

(1 minute and 20 seconds is my magic number), or until the cake rises to the top, the edges look set but the center looks ever-so-slighly wet and shiny but not raw, and sticks slightly to the finger when touched.

Do NOT overbake to ensure that saucy, molten-y interior.If the center still looks raw then give it another 5 to 10 seconds. The cake will fall after it comes out of the microwave.

Let it cool for a few minutes so you don't burn your tongue, but the waiting also help thicken the sauce in the bottom.

    This was stunning! Super quick chocolatey fix! Made in 2 big mugs, mix was super runny but was light fluffy and like mini choc self saucing puddings. Cooked on full power, 1min 40 secs.
    Thanks!

    Delicious Regards,

    Absolutely delicious! Been looking for a mug cake for ages. Made it with lactose free milk, dairy free butter and chocolate and subbed gluten free flour and it was still delicious! Made 3 smaller ones (2x kids and myself) perfect 👌

    Prefect for a quick chocolate fix. I didnt have quite enough butter so made it up with coconut oil, used rapadura sugar instead of caster and cacao instead of cocoa. Completely forgot about the baking powder and used Lindt dark chocolate squares and it tastes amazing. Thank you so muchnfor the recipe

    Was just the thing to warm the belly on a cold night. Is the batter meant to be really runny before baking? Chocolate just sunk.

    Easy and yummy, quite dense though, not fluffy like I was expecting. Ate it all tho!
