Preparation for the Mug Cake with Soft White Chocolate Center
For the preparation of the mug cake, you need two mugs. You can mix directly by dividing the listed ingredients into two separate mugs or work everything in a bowl and then divide the mixture into the two mugs.
First, mix all the sifted powders, then add the liquids and with a spoon or whisk mix everything well until it becomes a soft and lump-free mixture.
Divide the mixture into two mugs, you can increase the doses for more servings or decrease for just one mug.
Place the square of white chocolate in the center, sprinkle the surface with chopped hazelnuts, and transfer the mugs to the microwave oven.Cook the mug cake in the microwave oven at 900 power for about 1 minute if you want a soft and moist dessert with a melted chocolate center.
If you prefer something drier, extend the cooking by 15-20 more seconds.I tried both versions and I prefer the wetter cake, not dry.
I also tried the version with less cocoa and a few tablespoons less milk, it’s up to you to choose according to your tastes.Try also thequick microwave apple cake, it is prepared in less than 15 minutes.
Anna advises…
Fill the mugs halfway, during cooking the cake rises and may overflow.
Customize your mug cake with more or less cocoa, with white or dark chocolate or other cream.
