Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Choose a microwave-safe mug with a capacity of at least 12 ounces to allow the cake to rise without overflowing.
- In the mug, add 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1 egg.
- Use a fork or small whisk to beat the mixture until smooth and well combined.
- To the wet mixture, add 1/3 cup of self-raising flour.
- Add 2 teaspoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of dry cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of ginger, and 1 teaspoon of cardamom.
- Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth batter, ensuring there are no clumps of flour or cocoa powder.
- Gently fold in the 2 tablespoons of chopped dark chocolate, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Cooking times may vary based on your microwave's wattage. Start checking the cake at 1 minute and continue in 15-second intervals until the cake has risen and is set but still moist.
- Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!) and allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before digging in.
- You can top your chai-spiced chocolate mug cake with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or simply enjoy it as is.
Tips:
- Use a microwave-safe mug to avoid any accidents or damage while cooking your cake.
- Be sure to mix the ingredients well to ensure that the cake cooks evenly and has a consistent texture.
- Microwave power can vary, so keep an eye on your mug cake to prevent it from overflowing or becoming overcooked.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, serve your mug cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- A pinch of salt can help enhance the chocolate flavor. Try adding a small pinch if desired.
