I have been on the hunt for a dairy and egg free "cake in a mug" recipe for ages and I finally found one on Pinterest. I like the idea of a single portion of cake. As much as I love baking it takes time and patience and sometimes you just want cake pronto so that's where a microwave comes in handy. Pictured above was my first attempt at the recipe, made on my birthday hence the candle. I also indulged in Alpro Caramel dessert on the side.
The recipe comes from The Blooming Platter's Vegan Single-Serving Microwave “Brownikins” (My Take on a Microwaved Brownie-in-a-Mug). I do recommend adding an accompaniment as it can be a little dry. I have a 700W (D) microwave and cook it for 1 minute, sometimes it needs a few more seconds. You may need to experiment a little to get the perfect timings. Let me know if you make this.

It does look nice indeed. I am such a sucker for cake! I lovveeee the cake! :-) I will not attempt to make this though - I am the world's biggest disaster in a kitchen, even with a microwave! (Just ask the other half...)

DeleteDid you use soya marge? I've found it often makes sponges really light.
ReplyDeleteOkay, got to leave this page - salivating!! :) xx
I used oil in mine as I had no DF marg in the house at the time. I think it gets a little dry because the timings are not perfect and it helps to eat it slightly warm :)
DeleteIt looked so good so I had to try it, and it was really great! I eated it with whipped cream and strawberry and it tasted delicious. Very quick to make it too! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed :)
