The Moistest Chocolate Mug Cake
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 1
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp. baking powder
- 2 tbsp. granulated sugar (you can add 1 tbsp. more if you like it a bit sweeter)
- ⅛ tsp. salt
- ¼ cup + 1 tbsp. milk
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp. hazelnut chocolate spread
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
- Whisk in the milk and vegetable oil until all ingredients are combined and batter has no clumps.
- Pour batter into a microwave-safe mug. Mine was a 14-ounce mug. You want enough head space for the cake to rise without pouring over.
- Add 1 tbsp. of hazelnut chocolate spread in the middle of the batter. Just drop it in the middle, no need to push it down and sink it in the batter.
- Place a paper towel into the microwave and set the mug on top (this is to catch any batter if your mug cake overflows).
- Microwave mug cake for 70 seconds on high (PLEASE READ NOTES CAREFULLY BELOW)
- Carefully remove from microwave and enjoy!
Notes:
Please note that ALL microwaves are different therefore can yield different results and can overcook this mug cake if you aren't careful. My microwave is 950 watts and I cooked mine on 100% power for 70 seconds. Knowing this information, it may help you better judge how long to cook yours for and at what power.
You can totally omit the tablespoon of chocolate hazelnut spread if you want or use a different spread of your choice (peanut butter, biscoff, etc.). I just thought it made the cake even more moist but the cake itself is moist enough without it!
**This recipe is specifically made for the microwave. I developed it for the microwave. I don't know cook time or temperature for an oven...I'd imagine it'd be a very quick cook time at a low temp., but since I didn't test the recipe for an oven, I cannot give specifics. Sorry!
No eggs? Correct. There are NO EGGS in this recipe. Why? Egg is what makes the mug cake spongy. If you think about it, when you bake a full-sized cake, you typically use 1 or 2 eggs...for a mug cake to use 1 egg is A LOT!

Pumpkin Cheesecake with Caramel Sauce
Total Time:
5 hr 30 min
Prep:
15 min
Inactive:
4 hr 15 min
Cook:
1 hr
Yield:8 servings
Level:Easy
Ingredients
Crust:
1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 stick melted salted butter
Filling:
3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 (15-ounce) can pureed pumpkin
3 eggs plus 1 egg yolk
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
For crust:
In medium bowl, combine crumbs, sugar and cinnamon. Add melted butter. Press down flat into a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
For filling:
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, egg yolk, sour cream, sugar and the spices. Add flour and vanilla. Beat together until well combined.
Pour into crust. Spread out evenly and place in oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit for 15 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours.
Note: The only thing I did differently from this recipe was use a water bath and then after turning the oven off I let it cool in the oven with the door open for half an hour. No cracks, perfectly cooked, moist, sweet and light.

Pour the cream into a small saucepan. Using a small, sharp knife, cut the bean in half lengthwise. Using the knife tip, scrape the seeds into the cream. Set over medium heat and bring just to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and keep the cream mixture warm.
In a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, salt, corn syrup and 1/4 cup water, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a boil and cook, without stirring, until the mixture turns a light amber color, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Carefully pour the warm cream into the caramel; the mixture will boil vigorously. When the boiling subsides, whisk until smooth. Stir in the lemon juice and let cool for 10 minutes.
Add the butter 1 piece at a time, whisking constantly after each addition. Continue to whisk the caramel as it cools. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
