5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

[alioops]

Oh you Evil Evil woman!!! I am off to make it now!!!

[feeb]

ohh sounds devine

[{sarah}]

I made it last night without the choc chips cos we didn't have any & I must say I was surprised!! I think the recipe needs some tweaking though, definitely needs the choc chips IMO & I have read somewhere you can subsitute banana for oil in cake recipes to make them less evil, so I might do that next time too. Overall though it works really well.

I might try it out tonight with the banana, I have a heap of bananas that are too far gone for eating.

yummo ill be trying it hubbie made me cake in a coffee cup once before and it was devine.

[Laranna]

oh wow...5 minutes! That is evil LMS :P Love it!!

[Tannis]

OMG!! Can't believe it really only took 5mins! Can't believe how high it went about the mug then went down again! I just made 2 and if DP doesn't wake up and have his, I'm eating it too. I put a bit.....ok a lot of whipped cream with it too....DELISH!! I didn't try it with banana, I will next time though. My choc chips melted too but still tastes great!


Ohhh Wish I didn't find this thread!!

I just made this with quarter very ripe banana and desert spoon oil - textures not quite right and tastes too bananary.

Any tweak suggestions? Handy recipe if could be improved just a little, perhaps I just need to make it without banana ?

[BrightSparkles]

is it meant to be mushy????
I made it and it turned out really hard and chewy...think i did something wrong LOL

[ACJ]

Tip so the choc chips dont sink is to coat them in flour before adding them to the batter!!

Off to make mine now!!

[Janie]

Oh wow, so evil Will have to give it a go sometime when I have major cravings!

Michelle, did you try it?

[ACJ]

well i put milo in mine too.....will let you know how it turned out!!

[BrightSparkles]

i used milo....
couldn't eat it...too hard!!
What did i do wrong?????

[Sibbie]

oh.... my... god...

I just made one for me and one for hubby....

sooo good!!

I think it could go with a little less cooking tho.. the bottom is a little overcooked. might just be my microwave.

we didn't have choc chips but we have some milk chocolate so i broke that up and put it in... tasty! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm best cake ever.

Just made this - and to be extra naughty - I made a runny chocolate icing to go over the top! MMMM

Just made this tonight and realised something. I assume the recipe is not of Australian origin and therefore the tablespoon measurement will be 15ml rather than our standard of 20ml. So this would make a difference with timing of cooking and it would be important to make sure that an extra extra large egg is used.

Mine turned out fine, just like I would expect any microwave cake/pudding to be. Reminded me of the cakey part of a self saucing pudding. I used 15ml tablespoon measures with an extra large egg, 2 min 50 sec in a 1100 watt microwave.

Doubt I will make it again though, it was a bit of a novelty.

ETA: this made me check my measuring spoons. Realised my tablespoon measures 15 ml, so that would explain why I am having trouble with my anzacs

I made this over the weekend and YUMMO .... I overcooked it, but poured tons of evaporated milk over it and it was so good.

One question: DH don't like chocolate ... if I wanted to make it vanilla, what would I substitute for the 4 tbs of coco??
