Easy Chocolate Strawberry Mug Cakes
- Total Time: 12 minutes
- Yield: 2 1x
Ingredients
Scale
For the Cakes:
- 6 tablespoons of whole milk
- 10 chocolate cream cookies (such as Back To Nature or Oreo)
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup of chopped milk chocolate
- Vegetable oil (as needed)
- 6 strawberries (roughly chopped)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the milk and cookies, using a fork to crush the cookies until no big chunks remain.
- Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and sugar to the bowl, and whisk to combine.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between 2 microwave-safe mugs (10-12 ounces each).
- Microwave each mug individually for 60-90 seconds until the cakes are done.
- While the cakes are cooking, melt the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring in 10-second intervals until smooth. Add vegetable oil as needed to make the chocolate runny and pourable.
- Once the cakes are done, top them with the chopped strawberries and pour over the melted chocolate. Enjoy them warm or let them cool slightly before adding the toppings.
Notes
- These cakes are best enjoyed the same day.
