Description

This molten lava mug cake comes together in 5 minutes and is almost as good as the real thing!


Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 oz dark chocolate
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/3 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1-2 chocolate truffles in the middle (I use Lindt dark chocolate)

Instructions

  • To a 10-12oz microwave safe mug, add the butter and 1 oz chocolate, and microwave in 15 second increments until molten and combined
  • Add the milk and stir to combine
  • Add the sugar and stir in
  • Sift in the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt) and stir. Scrape the edges and bottom of the cup so no flour gets stuck there
  • Dunk the chocolate truffle(s) in the middle (no need to push all the way down)
  • Microwave on high for 60-70 seconds
  • Dust with powdered sugar, and enjoy!
