Instructions
Step 1
The recipe is suitable for making a simple cupcake in a mug. To knead the dough, you need to take two containers. These can be medium-sized plates, bowls, or mugs.
Step 2
It is important to take into account that baking rises significantly during cooking and increases in volume. Therefore, for convenience, when mixing and baking, it is recommended to select the dishes deeper. A free-flowing mixture is placed in one of the containers, and a liquid mixture in the other.
Step 3
Pour flour into the first cup, then add cocoa, mix the mixture thoroughly. If a coffee cake is being prepared, then the cocoa should be replaced with coffee, adding it based on taste preferences (on the tip of the knife).
Step 4
After that, add sugar to the bulk mass. Mix everything well again. The amount of sugar is chosen individually. If sweet cocoa powder is used, then the proportions of sugar in the dough should be reduced. When using coffee, increase.
Step 5
Break the egg into the second dish, beat with a fork until foam forms. Pour in milk, stir. Add sunflower (vegetable) oil to the liquid mixture. Mix the composition well.
Step 6
Next, to get the dough, the masses from the first and second cups should be combined and mixed well. To do this, be sure to pour the liquid mixture into the loose one. Knead the chocolate dough.
Step 7
Put the cake in a microwave oven (microwave oven) for 3-6 minutes, based on its individual characteristics. The dough is baked in a cup or molds are used. If the cake rises strongly during cooking, it is advisable to cover the dish with a lid on top to maintain its shape.
Step 8
Subject to the proportions, the baked goods are baked well inside for the specified time. You can check for readiness with a wooden toothpick or skewer, piercing the cake and touching the stick. If it's dry and doesn't stick to your fingers, the cake is ready.
Step 9
Dessert is served sprinkled with chocolate chips or icing. To prepare the latter, a few slices of chocolate are enough. Optionally, you can use the whole bar as well - this will enhance the chocolate flavor of the cake. However, then it is recommended to reduce the amount of sugar in the dough.
Step 10
The slices of chocolate are heated in a bowl in a water bath, then milk is added, stirring the mass continuously until it acquires a liquid homogeneous consistency. After slightly cooling, the glaze is distributed evenly over the baked goods. You can also garnish the cake with whipped cream, berries, fruit, ice cream, or simply sprinkle with powdered sugar.
