Chocolate Muck Muck Cake Recipes

CHOCOLATE CAKE IN A MUG

Steps:

• Special equipment: a 12-ounce microwave-safe ceramic mug and a microwave oven
• Put the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt if using in a 12-ounce microwave-safe ceramic mug. Blend thoroughly with a fork. Add the milk, vegetable oil and vanilla if using and blend until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips.
• Microwave on high for 90 seconds. Do not overcook or the cake will be dry. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before eating.

MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

Steps:

• Whisk egg, sugar, salt, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth. Stir coconut, almonds, and chocolate chips into the mixture; whisk in milk.
• Place flour into a small bowl or measuring cup and stir baking powder into flour with a mini whisk or fork. Pour flour mixture over batter and whisk just until you can't see visible flour.
• Divide batter evenly between 2 coffee cups. Gently tap the cups on a work surface to eliminate air bubbles.
• Place cups into microwave oven, one at a time. Microwave each cup on High for 45 seconds. Nothing will happen in the first 30 seconds; in the last 10 to 15 seconds, batter will begin to rise in the cup. Cooked cake will collapse after microwaving. Remove from oven and let cool 2 to 3 minutes.
• Lightly dust each serving with confectioners' sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cocoa. Place each coffee cup onto a saucer and serve.

CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

Steps:

• Microwave the butter in a microwave-safe mug in 10-second increments until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Crack the egg into a small bowl; add the vanilla and whisk to combine using a small whisk or fork. Pour the egg mixture into the mug over the butter and whisk to combine.
• Add the sugar, cocoa powder and salt and whisk until mostly smooth (a few lumps are O.K.). Scrape down the sides the best you can with a spoon or a small silicone spatula. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips, if desired.
• Cook in the microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Sift a little confectioners' sugar on top or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired. Dig in with a spoon.

CHOCOLATE MUCK MUCK CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly spray 6 - 3 inch muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place chopped chocolate and butter in a metal bowl. Set bowl above a saucepan of lightly simmering water and melt until completely smooth and even. Remove from heat and stir in eggs and yolks with a whisk. Lastly, stir in powdered sugar and flour.
• Bake in preheated oven for exactly 7 minutes. The cake may appear under-baked. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

CROCK POT CHOCOLATE MUD CAKE

Steps:

• Coat the inside of a 2 ½ quart to 5 quart slow cooker or crock pot with cooking spray. (Note: the cake's cooking time and final appearance will vary depending on your crock's size.)
• Whisk together the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside.
• In a large bowl, melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water and mix well.
• Whisk in the 2/3 cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons of cocoa, vanilla, salt, milk, and egg yolk.
• Add the flour mixture and stir until thoroughly mixed.
• Pour the batter into the slow cooker and spread it evenly.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar, cocoa and hot water until the sugar is dissolved.
• Pour the mixture over the batter in the slow cooker.
• Cover and cook on high for 1 ¼ to 2 ¼ hours, depending on size of the crock pot.
• Even when done, the cake will be very moist and floating on a layer of molten chocolate, but you will know it is ready when nearly all of the cake is set and the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pot.
• (As you check, try not to let the condensed steam from the lid, drip on the cake.) When it is done, turn off the power and remove the lid.
• Let it cool for 25 minutes, then serve it in bowls topped with whipped cream or ice cream.

CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F Spray a 6-cup muffin tin (3" diameter cups) with non-stick spray.
• Place chocolate, butter and salt in the top of a double boiler (or in a heatsafe bowl over a pot of boiling water). Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
• In another bowl, beat vanilla, eggs and egg yolks. Add chocolate mixture, one spoonful at a time, whisking constantly, until the egg mixture is quite warm. Scrape egg mixture into chocolate mixture and whisk until fully blended. Stir in confectioner's sugar and flour; fold with spatula until just barely combined. Be careful not to over mix.
• Divide batter evenly amongst 6 prepared cups. Bake in preheated oven 7-8 minutes (cake will appear underbaked and the center will be quite wet). Remove from oven and serve immediately.
