Let’s face it, few things in life beat the taste of a freshly baked chocolate cake. Unfortunately, baking an entire cake takes time and by the time you’re done baking, icing and decorating your latest creation, the craving might be long gone and you probably need a nap. Not to mention all the dishes you have to wash…
With this in mind, here’s a delicious 5-minute chocolate-coffee mug cake – courtesy of South African chef Zola Nene and the LG NeoChef microwave.
You’ll need: 60ml cake flour; 2.5ml baking powder; 30ml cocoa powder; 15ml instant espresso coffee powder; 60 ml icing sugar; 1 egg; 45ml milk; 45ml vegetable oil; 5ml vanilla extract; 45ml chocolate chips; Ice cream or custard to serve
Method: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a 300-ml microwaveable mug or bowl until smooth and blended. Microwave on high power for 90 seconds. Top with a scoop of ice cream or custard (or both…) to serve.
