Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 packet Hot Chocolate Mix
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 dash Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar

Optional Garnishes

  • Coconut flakes
  • Chocolate chips
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In your mug, combine the packet of hot chocolate mix, one egg, a dash of vanilla extract, and one teaspoon of granulated sugar. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  2. Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave oven and cook on high for approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds. The mixture will rise and cook into a mini cake while retaining its moist texture.
  3. Serve and Garnish: Carefully remove the mug from the microwave. Transfer the mini cake to a small bowl if preferred, and garnish with coconut flakes, chocolate chips, and a light sprinkle of powdered sugar. Serve warm and enjoy immediately for best taste.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage; keep an eye to avoid overcooking.
  • You can customize the garnish according to your preference or omit it entirely.
  • Use a ceramic mug safe for microwave use to prevent accidents.
  • For a dairy-free option, choose a vegan hot chocolate mix and plant-based egg substitute.
