Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons Biscoff spread
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 1/8 teaspoon of baking powder. Use a fork or a small whisk to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add 3 tablespoons of milk, 2 tablespoons of Biscoff spread, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry mixture in the mug. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully combined and the batter is smooth. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the mug to incorporate all the flour.
- Once the batter is smooth, you can optionally add a few chocolate chips or crushed Biscoff cookies on top for extra flavor and texture.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. Keep an eye on the mug cake as it cooks to prevent it from overflowing. If it looks like it might overflow, stop the microwave and let it settle for a few seconds before continuing to cook.
- After 1 minute, carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!). Check the doneness of the cake by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If needed, you can microwave it for an additional 10-15 seconds, but be cautious not to overcook.
- Let the mug cake cool for a minute before enjoying. You can top it with a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of Biscoff spread, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Tips
- Use a large microwave-safe mug to prevent overflow and ensure even cooking.
- Mix dry ingredients thoroughly to avoid flour lumps in your cake.
- Don't overmix the batter - stop stirring as soon as ingredients are just combined.
- Microwave power varies, so start with 1 minute and adjust cooking time if needed.
- Let the cake rest for a minute after cooking to allow it to set and cool slightly.
- For extra indulgence, experiment with toppings like whipped cream, extra Biscoff spread, or a sprinkle of chocolate chips.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and warmth - mug cakes are best enjoyed fresh!
