Mug Cakes: 40 speedy cakes to make in a microwave

Product Information

De veertig recepten zijn onderverdeeld in ‘Klassiekers’, ‘Fun cakes’, ‘Happy hour’, ‘Toetjes en traktaties’. De klassiekers zijn eenvoudig te bereiden en de enige categorie die voldoet aan het klaar-binnen-tien-minuten-uitgangspunt. Bij de overige categorieën ben je afhankelijk van je vaardigheid in het maken van mokcakes en speelt ook decoreren een tijdrovende rol. Cult Mug Cakes include your classic cake flavours, like Vanilla, Lemon and Orange cakes. I couldn’t wait to try some recipes from the Ultimate Mug Cakes section, with its Marshmallow, Coconut-Choc and Nutty mug cakes. Another whole part of the book is devoted to Chocolate Specials, such as the Chocolate Fondant, Salted Caramel and Nutella (highly recommended!) Mug Cakes, truly catering to the chocoholics among us, while the Mug Apple Crumble, Green Tea Mug Cake and Blueberry-Ricotta Mug Cakes appeal to those who prefer some Tutti Frutti flavours. No cake is complete, of course, without a topping of something delicious. Knudsen provides some ideas for your final mug cake layer, including sauces, icings, coulis mug cakes, and Chantilly.

i was surprised at how much this one tasted like coke/cherry coke. but i'm running out of room AGAIN, and still one to go, so i have to shhh. this mug might be microwave-safe, but there's no way i was gonna be scraping mug cake off of all of those tentacles... of course, i probably should have been paying attention to the flame instead of taking pictures, and it got a little darker than i wanted or is it? it is NOT! once you get some chalk, it is the best mug ever, but totally not microwave-safe: i am loopy with month-long sugar high, so lemme just say how much fun this project was, and i hope it was enjoyable for youuuu people, too, and that it inspires you to make many mug cakes of your own and share your pictures with me please!

You can EASILY make this vegan, by using dairy free dark chocolate in the middle, and using almond milk. I’ve tried several mug cake recipes over my time, as they’re just so easy. When you want a slice of chocolate cake, and you either don’t want to bake an entire one yourself, or you don’t want to buy one. Literally, whisking together some ingredients together and microwaving the mug cake, and huzzah you have a fudgey, chocolatey and delicious treat. I went for chocolate for my first mug cake recipe, but don’t worry… I will be posting plenty more as the time passes! for this one, i also used what is more precisely defined as a "bowl," but this time it was definitely necessary very tasty, even though it's a lot of stuff just for a mug cake. might as well make a fullsized one, right? and extra frosting? I tried this recipe with some baking powder, and it does work and make it more fluffy, but personally I wanted a denser and more gooey cake. You can add in 1/2 tsp of baking powder, but its entirely optional. I used self raising flour as I preferred it to plain, and then thats enough raising agent for me. The measurements are a difficult thing I find because peoples versions of ‘one tablespoon’ can vary in weight SO VERY MUCH so I have put weights as well. 15g is typically a level tablespoon weight, so don’t do heaped.. it might not turn out as good!

this cake has more holes than G'sM, which is one of the problems with mug cakes - it's hard to stir the ingredients together properly in such a little space. i hadn't read the recipe closely before i started, and i thought it would only take two (NLGM), so i'd planned to use my two leonard cohen mugs because theme. but then i realized this one had metallic accents, so microwave = not cool.

Vaak staan we niet stil bij de luxe van sommige huishoudelijke apparaten. Neem nu een microgolfoven … Je kan er in een veel korter tijdsbestek je aardappelen in garen, of zelfs een hele maaltijd in bereiden mits je over de juiste schotels beschikt. In enkele minuten kan je iets ontdooien of opwarmen zodat je binnen de kortste keren een warme dievriesmaaltijd voor je hebt staan. Een heerlijk stomende tas soep, of … een cakeje. I used almond milk and it heated up and ‘baked’ in the exact same way as the whole milk. Also, the chocolate chunks in the centre can easily be made vegan by using dairy free dark chocolate (which to be honest is most dark chocolates these days!) Top tips! i'm not sure how i feel about this one yet. it really tastes like coffee, and that's disconcerting to me. i like coffee when it is a liquid, but i have never liked other coffee-flavored things. i only had one bite; i gobbled too much of the other one and filled up

i didn't have any fresh cherries, and they're out of season anyway, so i just used a chocolate-covered cherry, which i did have on hand
