MICROWAVE MUG CHOCOLATE CAKE
Too busy to do all the “baking and cleaning” stuff? This delightful dessert can be made by even the busiest Christmas elf. Thanks to some Christmas (or, in this case, microwave) magic, it only takes less than 10 minutes to “bake.” INGREDIENTS 1 tbsp. unsalted butter 2 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped 1 large egg 2 tbsp. light brown sugar 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour 2 tbsp. cocoa powder 1/2 tsp. baking powder pinch kosher salt whipped cream or whipped topping, for serving DIRECTIONS 1. Microwave the butter and chocolate in a 10- to 12-ounce round mug in 20-second increments until smooth; set aside to cool for 5 minutes. 2. Add and whisk together the egg, sugar, and vanilla extract. Afterward, mix together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in the mug. Microwave on high for 90 seconds, or until the middle is still slightly underbaked. If desired, top with whipped cream or another topping.
