Chocolate Mug Cake

Ingredients

• 42 g (1.5 oz.) dark chocolate, coarsely chopped (or 1/4 cup chocolate chips or chunks)
• 3 tablespoons (40g) unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons (40g) granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons (18g) all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1

   Place chocolate and butter in a small heatproof bowl, then set in the microwave and heat for 30 seconds. Take it out and stir, then continue to microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until melted and smooth.

2. 2

   Add sugar to the bowl and mix until combined. Add egg and whisk vigorously until completely smooth. Lastly, add flour and mix just until combined and lump-free, but don’t over mix.

3. 3

   Scrape batter into your favorite mug (the mug should be bigger in capacity than the batter to avoid overflowing). Microwave for 1 minute at 700-750 W. If it’s undercooked, heat for a few seconds longer. I like it when it’s not fully cooked and there are still molten parts. Let stand for 2 minutes, then dig in.
