Hey everyone it's James from funfoods and today I'm gonna make this quick and easy mug cake now this is a perfect recipe to make if you're in the mood for cake but you don't want to make a giant recipe and you don't want to have a whole bunch left over so keep watching and I'll show you step-by-step how to make this the first going to start off with a coffee mug make sure this coffee mug is microwavable that's very important here next we're going to add is two tablespoons of sugar just regular granulated sugar 2 tablespoons of flour all purpose flour also two tablespoons of cocoa this is a special dark chocolate cocoa but you can use regular chocolate if you like you would like and you want a dash of salt and then we're just going to mix this up all of our dry ingredients once that's mixed up next we're going to add is two tablespoons of melted butter pour that in there and have one large egg i'm just going to lightly beat this pour that in there and two tablespoons of milk a half a teaspoon of vanilla extract and we're just gonna mix us up until it's all mixed in there really good and also have a handful of chocolate chips gonna put that in there and mix that in now just take this put in microwave on high for about one and a half minutes to 2 minutes you gotta watch it every microwaves a little different so watchers will start to puff up to the top thats when it's done. And when its done cooking pull it out of the microwave use something to protect yourself because your mug might be hot also we'll just let this cool down for about 15 minutes now i'm gonna make my frosting for the cake I don't need much that's why I'm doing this by hand if I want to make a whole bunch of use a big whisk but i have about a tablespoon and a half about 2 tablespoons of butter just softened at room temperature and i have also about 3 tablespoons of peanut butter now i'm going to just mix this up really good about a half a teaspoon of vanilla extra I have a whole cup of confectioner's sugar i probably won't use the whole cup but all use a little bit of time and then mix it in and if it's too dry like this just add a little bit of milk only a little bit at a time so I used about a quarter cup to half a cup of confectionery sugar you're just gonna have to play with it a bit to find the right consistency now you can make it more creamy I want to be nice and thick so it's not gonna be very creamy or you can just go about it and buy your own premade frosting for your cake now I'm going to put this into a piping bag now our mug cake has cool down enough so i can touch it and it's not gonna burn me i'm just going to take my frosting that I put in my piping bag here and I'm gonna Frost the top I'm not gonna put a lot on there because I don't need a lot and just to top it off i have a little bit of cocoa in here and I'm just gonna dust it a bit now let's give this a shot and see how it tastes so I'm just going to get a little bit of that frosting I'm gonna dig in it's very good it's very rich it's very moist it's not a dry cake at all so I hope you get a chance to try it out yourself well thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed watching me make this mug cake this was super easy to make it only take a few minutes to make it and I didn't have a whole bunch of cake left over so it's perfect if you're just having that craving for cake and you want to dig in so I hope you enjoyed this recipe if you did please hit that like button also check out some of the recipes i have off to the side I think you may enjoy those as well and until then see you next week
