Ingredients
Scale
Cake Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons (90 milliliters) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons (10 grams) unsweetened baking cocoa
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) milk
Garnish:
- Powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) baking powder
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly amalgamate dry components including flour, baking powder, granulated and brown sugars, and cocoa powder using a whisk.
- Incorporate liquid elements – eggs, vegetable oil, and milk – into the dry mixture, whisking until achieving a uniform, silky consistency.
- Distribute the batter meticulously into two microwave-safe ceramic vessels, ensuring each container is filled approximately midway to accommodate potential rising during cooking.
- Position the mugs in the microwave, maintaining adequate separation between them. Heat on maximum power for 2½-3 minutes, monitoring until exterior edges appear solid and central regions are almost completely set.
- After microwaving, allow cakes to rest and slightly cool for approximately 1-2 minutes to stabilize their structure.
- Elegantly dust the warm confections with a delicate layer of powdered sugar, creating a visually appealing finish before serving immediately.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting sugar levels to suit different taste preferences.
- Swap vegetable oil with applesauce for a lighter, lower-fat version that maintains moisture.
- Use gluten-free flour blend to make this recipe suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Try alternative milk options like almond or oat milk for dietary variations.
