Mexican Chocolate/Salted Caramel Cake in a Mug

Mexican Chocolate/Salted Caramel Cake in a Mug

I had this at friend’s house and had to have the recipe! He didn’t know where he got it but he knows the date – it was on the receipt he wrote the recipe on. Great when you want just one serving of dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped and halved
  • 1 pinch kosher salt

Directions

Step 1
Mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, baking powder, 1 pinch salt, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon in a bowl. Whisk milk, canola oil, egg, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture. Lightly press caramels into kosher salt.

Step 2
Pour batter into a microwave-safe mug; top with salted caramels.

Step 3
Cook in microwave until desired consistency is reached, 75 to 100 seconds.

Cook’s Notes:

I mix up single servings and store in an airtight container for a quick snack. You can add wheat germ or flax seed to make it healthier (and you feel better about it). Also, try it with carob powder if you want.
