Flourless Emergency Chocolate Mug Cake

7 Shares

The emergency chocolate cake.  Kind of dry.  Kind of only good if you add chocolate chips.  Kind of overdone.

 

Until now.

I just feel the need to get this out in the open:  I love chocolate, but I’m not a chocoholic – it’s true.  But what that should really tell you (besides the fact that I’ve totally failed you guys in the chocolate arena) is that when I crave chocolate that means it’s GOTTOHAPPENRIGHTTHISVERYSECONDORIMAYJUSTDIE.  It’s a very serious thing when I crave chocolate – and therefore, the emergency chocolate cake is really saving my life.  Really.

 

My biggest complaint about said chocolate mug cake though is that the flour ALWAYS dries it out.  You know, besides the obvious fact that it’s being cooked in the microwave and all.  So I set out on a mission to throw a bunch of stuff in a mug to make a more moist chocolate mug cake, clearly upping the chances that I’ll OD on chocolate mug cake and run out of chocolate chips.

 

But that’s neither here nor there.

 

If you’re craving chocolate you should definitely spring for this – it’s rich and gooey and delicious.  It takes all of 3 minutes to make (including “baking” time) and is sure to quell that rabid desire for chocolate.  All I’m saying is I’m not responsible you go into a chocolate and sugar induced coma after making and eating like 50 of these.

FLOURLESS EMERGENCY CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

  •  1/4 cup marshmallows
  • 2 Tbsp peanut butter
  • 2 Tbsp chocolate chips
  • 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 Tbsp milk
  • 1 egg white

Mix everything together in a large mug.  Microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring at the 30 second mark (helps mix in the marshmallows a bit more).  You want it to be a LITTLE bit moist in the middle still – that means it’s done but not overdone!  EAT!

Rabid chocolate lover’s cure?  CHECK!

      Bummer 🙁 I’m so sorry Nat…it sounds like there may be too much liquid in there if it’s turning out eggy; maybe reduce the milk a little bit? Or only add half the egg white?

      I hope that helps!

    I love this! Last summer, I found a chocolate mug cake recipe and wanted to make it, but I couldn’t find any flour, so I couldn’t make it 🙁 but I found this and now I plan to make it, thank you 😀

    Hummm… the promise of moist emergency chocolate cake sounds SO good, but unfortunately marshmallows aren’t as easy to get over here as in the USA… And I don’t really like them either. So, are they the actual key to the moistness? Or could I just leave them out?

      hi betty!

      i wouldn’t say that they’re the KEY to moistness, but they certainly help. i don’t actually like marshmallows either, but i couldn’t taste them in here. if you were to make it another way there would need to be more sugar since the sweetness mostly comes from the marshmallows. is there a good equivalent where you live?

      i’d love to find out if you tried something else and how it worked out!

        Well I started off with another (not flourless) chocolate emergency mug cake recipe that I had used before but that had been to dry as well.. but today I replaced the sugar with sweetened condensed milk and had some more egg than usually and it worked out fine. I think the sweetened condensed milk is one of those moisture-keeping ingredients that I’m going to experiment with further…

    I’m kind of the same way. And my chocolate must be paired with peanut butter. I’m kind of happy that I have every single ingredient for this mug cake – and I’ve never made a mug cake. When I do my kids are going to think I’m a total rock star 🙂

    I crave sweets pretty much all day long- yep it’s true- and it’s a problem but I’ll own it! 🙂 I like the direction of this cake- I’m quite intrigued and am pretty sure I’m going to have to try it ASAP!

    I’m the same way!!!
    I hardly ever like sweets. But when I want them, even the smallest craving, i need them right away. like RIGHTAWAY or someone will seriously get hurt.

    And every time I give in to this little sweet craving, I immediately have to eat something super salty afterward to throw my life back in balance. Totally weird.

    And this is perfect timing since I need some emergency chocolate at this moment in time due to a lovely visitor that greeted me this morning. 😉

    Oh sheesh. That’s showing up as your first comment. Good thing TMI does nothing to me. Haha!
