1
ingredients
- 50 g dark chocolate
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons milk
directions
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Set aside to cool for a minute or two. EDIT: OR MELT IN THE MUG. Keep an eye on it though and try not to cry if/when it seizes.
- Add flour, cinnamon, and sugar to a small mixing bowl; mix well.
- Add in the egg and mix again.
- Add in the milk and mix yet again.
- Add in the chocolate-butter mixture and mix once more.
- Pour into a large coffee mug and microwave on medium power for two minutes, then high power for about a minute. Cake is done when a skewer test comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool (while you're cleaning up is sufficient) and dig in! Add a scoop of your favorite ice cream on top for a delicious change of pace.

I'm sorry for the low rating because it takes the mug out of "mug" cake and takes extra steps. All ingredients are to be mixed in the mug using measuring spoons and a mixing spoon. Update: I'm sorry you took this the wrong way because this was not my intention...and it isn't a snark. I'm sorry for the low rating. I gave this 2 stars because it takes the mug out of "mug" cake and takes extra steps. All ingredients are to be mixed in the mug using measuring spoons and a mixing spoon. Update: I'm sorry you took this the wrong way because this was not my intention...and it isn't a snark. You didn't have to be rude. I now gave you 3 stars for your explanation that is geared toward the idea of 1 piece of cake instead of more servings. The recipe is listed as kid-friendly and the recipe I saw was mixed in the mug with no other bowls/pans which makes cleanup quick. I'm sure most kids don't know what a double boiler is and many adults don't know either. I know how to bake so your way is simple for me but it defeats the simplicity for which mug cakes are intended to be as far as kid-friendly (not that they can't wash the extra items you use).
