Today we’ve been chilling out but after seeing this recipe on pinterest, we decided to load it up onto my tablet and give it a go because it seemed so unbelievable! This is one of those things you read about on the internet and think ‘yeah right’ but seriously – we were so surprised that it actually worked and was really nice!
1 mug is enough for 2 people – or in our case, a taster for 4! Here’s the original recipe: 2 Minute Chocolate Salted Caramel Mug Cake. But here it is for ease:
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons plain flour
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg – beaten
- 3 tablespoons skimmed milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 salted caramels (we used thorntons)
Method:
- Into a small bowl add: flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, salt, egg, milk, and vegetable oil. Mix to combine.
- Pour mixture into a regular sized coffee mug. Drop caramels into center of mixture one at a time.
- Microwave on high for one minute and 30 seconds. If needed (if cake batter is still gooey), microwave on high for up to an additional 30 seconds.
