Gooey Molten Chocolate Cake

I’m having a rough go at this “eating healthier” business. I’ve been blending away my favorites, Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake and my new obsession the Liquid Almond Joy which I posted last week. But cake is what I want.

I had a gooey chocolate mug cake ready in minutes. Just enough for one serving, which is a safe bet when you’re feeling like eating a whole cake wouldn’t be a problem. I combined it all in a bowl, sprayed a coffee mug, scooped it in then microwaved the cake batter for 2 1/2 minutes at 30% power.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to ensure my molten chocolate cake comes out gooey?

Microwave the cake batter for about 2 1/2 minutes at 30% power, as this low power setting helps achieve the desired gooey center.

Can I use a different type of mug for this recipe?

Yes, you can use any microwave-safe mug, but ensure it’s large enough to hold the batter without overflowing during cooking.

What should I do if my cake seems overcooked?

If the cake feels firm rather than soft and gooey, you may need to adjust your microwave time, as microwaves can vary in power; try reducing the cooking time slightly next time.
