I like a nice creamy cake from the nearby store; it's not cheap and it must be a lot of calories too. So, I was thinking - rather than to bake something and keep it in the freezer - to jump on this Mug Cake phenomenon.

Is anyone a devotee and has tips for me? It can't be just a chocolate cake, it has to have something creamy in it ...


Thanks!

How about something like this, Choc. Mousse?


Mug Cake - Chocolate Molten Lava

Ingredients:
1) 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
2) 4 tablespoons of sugar
3) 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
4) Pinch of salt
5) 3 tablespoons of whole milk
6) 3 tablespoons of neutral cooking oil (most cooking oils except olive oil)
7) 1 egg
8) 2 tablespoons of semi-sweet chocolate chips /chocolate shavings (plus a bit more for garnishing)
9) 1 mandarin orange (or any citrus fruit you fancy)
Steps:
1) In a medium-sized microwave-safe mug, combine flour, sugar and cocoa powder
2) Mix well to get a homogenous mixture
3) Add milk, cooking oil, egg and chocolate chips/chocolate shavings
4) Mix all together until you get a thick, homogenous batter
5) Microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds
6) Peel mandarin orange (or any other fruits you like) and arrange the pieces of fruits above the mug cake and sprinkle remaining chocolate chips/chocolate shavings over
7) Serve immediately when still warm
