Cherry Cake In A Mug
From midgelet 12 years ago
- 3 to make
- Serves 1-2
I really like cherry cakes and so I needed to experiment with those chocolate mug microwave cakes ( see my 5 minutes chocolate mug cake post ) to transform a recipe into a cherry version. I like what I came up with , Of course if you can improve the recipe, go for it. Read more I liked the texture and taste but perhaps it may need more of a cherry oompf flavor. I took it out of the mug and decided this was a cake for 2 people ( or one hungry soul ) . Of course adding some whipped cream and or cherry pie filling on the finished cake would really make it more glamorous. But I think I concocted a good thing here! Let me know what you think. You may have to experiment with your oven time. My oven is 1500 watts, with a turntable. See less
Ingredients
- 5 Tbs flour shopping list
- 1 Tbs cornstarch shopping list
- 3 Tbs granulated sugar shopping list
- 1 egg shopping list
- 3 Tbs oil shopping list
- 1/2 tsp vanilla shopping list
- 1/2 tsp cherry extract shopping list
- 1 Tbs half and half shopping list
- 1 Tbs black cherry syrup ( I used Fox's U-Bet, but any quality syrup would do ) shopping list
- 1 large ceramic empty mug ( I used a 10 oz mug ) shopping list
How to make it
- In a small bowl, place the flour, sugar and cornstarch.
- Crack in the egg,
- Add the cherry syrup, extracts, oil and half and half.
- Whisk to form a batter.
- The consistency is of a thick batter ( thick pour able but not runny )
- if too runny, it may need another Tbs of flour
- Place mixture into the mug.
- Microwave ( use a turntable ) for 3 minutes ( I have a 1500 watt oven ) or cake has risen and puffed in cup and appears almost set on top but still has a slight glisten/sheen on the top
- The trick is that the cake will continue to cook after you take it out, so you want it moist yet cooked and so the time is the most critical factor
- 3 minutes was perfect for my 1500 watt oven.
- Note: I also removed the cake from the mug ( photo ) and it stayed moist with nice cake texture and did not dry out.
- I was very pleased what I created !
- You may have to experiment a bit for your particular oven
