Pour out the hot chocolate because we’re
suggesting a new filling for the standard
kitchen mug.
Becky Low shares shares ways to whip up a
mini cake inside a mug!
Basic Ingredients
2 Tablespoons butter
3-4 Tablespoons sugar
1 large egg
2 Tablespoons milk
¼-½ teaspoon vanilla, or other flavoring
6 Tablespoons flour
⅛ teaspoon baking powder (eliminate if using self-
rising flour)
Melt butter in microwave safe mug (about 30 seconds). Using
a fork, whisk together butter, sugar, egg, milk and
vanilla. Beat in flour baking powder and any other add-ins.
(If mug is small, divide batter between two small mugs).
Microwave 1 ½ – 2 minutes (depending on mug), start with 90
seconds and increase time as needed. Top Mug with desired
topping, enjoy hot or cold.
Notes:
Choose a microwave safe mug. Mugs come in variety of shapes
and sizes; there is no standard mug. Batter should fill mug
between ½-¾ full before microwaving. If mug is small,
divide batter between two mugs. Adjust cooking time for mug
size. Start with 90 seconds, increase time as needed.
Variations:
Use your imagination and experiment for your own customized
favorite Mug. Adjust amounts to suit your taste
preferences.
PB&J Mug:
Replace butter with 3 Tablespoons peanut butter, use brown
sugar in place of white. Once microwaved, top with 1-2
tablespoons jam of choice
Chocolate Red Velvet Mug:
Substitute buttermilk for regular milk, add 2 tablespoons
mashed potatoes (leftovers or prepared instant potatoes),
add 2 tablespoons cocoa, add red food color
S’More Mug:
Add 1-2 tablespoons cocoa and 2 tablespoons chocolate
chips, add 2-3 tablespoons crumbled graham crackers, add 6-
7 mini marshmallows
TOPPINGS: Sprinkle or spoon on top microwaved cake.
Crushed candy, whipped cream, ice cream, sprinkles, fresh
fruit, fruit puree, citrus curls, cream cheese frosting,
coarse sugar sprinkles, chocolate syrup, chopped nuts
