Yes, that’s right. I created a brownie mug cake that takes only one minute to make in the microwave. I have to confess, I’m pretty thrilled. This is my favorite mug cake creation yet. And it is still super easy to make.
It’s super chocolatey like a brownie should be. This is more like the cake-type brownies rather than the chewy brownies, but it’s still so good. When it first came out of the oven, the brownie was quite fluffy, like a really good chocolate cake. After a minute or so, the batter turns denser, much more like a brownie because of the minimal amount of flour.
I made two, offered one to the FH. At first he refused. He’s gotten kind of sick of my mug cake creations. I insisted he take a bite and he didn’t regret it. He loved it and kept the brownie for himself.
Because brownies are denser, these don’t rise nearly as much and you don’t need an oversized mug unless you want to double the quantity. A regular mug will do.
There’s one extra step required to create these cakes, but it’s still super easy and clean up is still minimal.

Am confused do we mix the butter Nd chocolate or not explain d 2mugs
The butter and chocolate are melted first in the microwave. Once you mix the batter in each mug, microwave them one at a time to cook the cakes.
Im sorry i had better, its super dry…
Sorry it didn’t work for you – sounds like it was overcooked.
This is my favourite mug dessert! I first tried it months ago and would make it constantly but then I lost the recipe. I’m so glad I kept searching for it and found it again!

It worked! it tasted amazingly but i would reccomend to eat it as soon as you can, or it hardens and gets dry, i love this recipe! will definetely use it again
Thanks for letting us know you loved it!
This worked out amazingly! I was a little hesitant to use a raw egg, but unlike what I thought, it didn’t make it spongy at all! Why didn’t I find this before? Def sharing this with my friends and family! Please continue making and sharing these amazing recipes!
