 Topic: mug brownie NOT 5 min cake
Posted: 30 May 2011 at 1:35pm |

I know there is a recipe on here for the 5min mug cake but this is WAY better.
Mug Brownie.
Ingredients:
4 Tablespoons Flour
4 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cocoa powder (Note: don't use cocoa mix or quik, it shouldn't have any sugar)
2 Tablepsoons Vegetable Oil (Don't use one with a strong flavor, eg olive, sesame, etc)
2 Tablespoons Water
Dash of salt
Mug
Microwave
Add the sugar, flour, cocoa, and salt to the mug and mix. Then add the oil and water and mix the dry and wet ingredients together. Be sure to be thorough, there's a tendency for clumps of the dry ingredients to form
Microwave on high for roughly a minute. You may have to microwave it longer or shorter, depending on your microwave, but the brownie should still be wet in the center when done.

Ooh it looks lower in calories too, bonus! We under cook the 5min mug cake slightly so it's more like self-saucing pudding

Dear god this concept has totally escaped my notice but what a great idea. I don't like baking cos then you have to eat the whole lot, but a mugs worth is perfect. It's on my list for tomorrow.

DH cooked it last night too and all the oil bubbled to the top, so he tipped the oil out. Then later found out that it was too dry
We have 800w and DH cooked it for over 2 minutes. I think it would have been good if he had of let the oil soak back in and maybe cooked it slightly less.

mine is 1400w, did it for 1 min and it turned out purfect. It looks a bit runny when you get it out but it kinda sets a bit as it cools. and it should be all chewey like brownies and not like a cake.

Yum!
I can't do the normal mug cake, I've heard it described as tasting like "chocolate wetsuit", which I totally agree with!!

Ahaha, actually I agree with this too, which is one of the reasons we undercook it, then it's really yum!

I have done this twice in the past 24 hrs !  With the help of two young kids.
Mine turned out pretty much the same as it was before it was cooked but hot. Maybe I did not cook it long enough or did I? I don't know but it was yummo. I cant wait to try with some fresh cream while its still hot! Nice winter dessert.
