Cost 1
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips 45 grams (Ghirardelli)
- 3 tablespoons milk, 2% 45 ml
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour 16 grams, stir it and don't pack
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons unsweetened applesauce applesauce
Instructions
- Combine milk and chips in a 12 oz mug. Microwave for 25-30 seconds (keep an eye on it). Stir until chips melt and mixture is smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder and oil and stir until smooth. Stir in the applesauce. If you want, you can also stir in a tiny pinch of salt.
- Microwave for 55 seconds. If cake is not done (which may happen in less powerful microwaves), heat for 10 to 15 seconds more. Scatter a few chocolate chips across the top and let stand for 5 minutes before eating..
- Top with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
To make the optional frosting, combine 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon butter. Microwave on high for about 30 seconds, then stir well. Add ½ tablespoon half & half and microwave for another 20 to 30 seconds, then stir until smooth. Stir in 2 ½ tablespoons of confectioners' sugar and about ⅛ teaspoon of vanilla. This should give you enough to drizzle over 2 mug cakes.
To serve to, prepare the batter in one mug, then spoon half of the batter into another mug or custard cup. Microwave for 50 seconds.
I tested in a 1200 watt microwave.
