Hi Bold Babies…Hi Bold Bakers. With a brand new baby at home Kevin and I wanted to be extra safe
so we couldn't have our film crew come to the house this week. So it's back to the good old
days of Kevin and I filming. Yep, I'm right here and Georgie's supposed to be sleeping.
So I know you're stuck at home and you've got a small amount of ingredients in your cupboard.
I'm going to show you how you can make the best ever chocolate mug cake with the ingredients that
you have to hand. We're going to do something a little bit new in this episode. We're going to
shoot it in real time. It's going to be really fast. Now let's have a look at the ingredients
that you'll need. Some flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, an egg,
some flavorless oil, and chocolate chips. Okay so follow along with me and we're going to get this
done in real time. I've got my official Bigger Bolder Baking mug here and into it I'm going to
add my flour, sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, not hot chocolate powder, unsweetened cocoa powder.
Why not hot chocolate powder? Because hot chocolate powder is made with a lower grade of
chocolate and there is like sugar and different things added into it like thickeners and stuff
and unsweetened cocoa powder is pure chocolate and you want to make sure that you have the good
stuff. Here we go, baking powder and a pinch of salt. And then with a fork just mix all these
ingredients together. This is going to make a big mug cake so it's probably enough for two people or
you can have a big one to yourself but just so you know it is a it's a big guy. So now into this we
are going to add in our milk. If you're dairy free you can use a dairy free milk. I'm going to crack
in an egg. A lot of you don't eat eggs and if you don't want to put egg in this you can use
applesauce or some banana and I'll put that information on the website. A little bit of oil,
flavorless oil like vegetable oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, just not olive oil.
And then we're going to add in a few chocolate chips. Chocolate chips, there we go. And then
with our spork that comes with our Bigger Bolder Baking mug we're going to whisk all these
ingredients together. So Gemma what makes this the best ever mug cake? That is a good question
Kevin. So I thought to myself why not take one of my most popular recipes which is my best ever
chocolate cake, a big old cake and take that and make it into a mug cake. So that's what I did. I
pared it down I made a really small portion and that's what this is here. So it's a really soft
lovely moist cake. There we go. What do you think of that Kev? That is looking good. Yummy yummy.
Yeah it's big isn't it? Love it. But these mugs are big so that's good.
Now like I said, real time. Let's pop this guy into the microwave.
So now the cooking time is based on my microwave which is 1200 watts. So check the wattage of your
microwave because your cook time may vary. So roughly though it does take around 45 seconds
to a minute. Let me tell you something, when people message me and say that mug cakes were
tough or they were hard, it's because they got over microwaved. They really only need
such a short amount of time. So just be careful not to overdo it. Also Gem, what about some of
your other mug recipes? Well I have over 100 other mug recipes both sweet and savory. Kevin
thank you for asking. Tons of videos you can watch. Tons of videos on YouTube. Some of our most
popular recipes with tens of millions of views. Some of my most personal favorites are mug pizza,
microwave mug pizza, that's awesome. We have funfetti cake in the microwave,
that's pretty cool. We have a donut in the microwave. What's your favorite Kevin? I'd say
mug macaroni and cheese. Oh that's a good one. And look at that, gorgeous. Mine only took around 45
seconds. Beautiful. And you can tell with just that little bit of time it's still nice and soft.
So I have some frosting here because if you're gonna do it, do it right.
We're gonna pipe that on top and then some sprinkles because everything is better with
sprinkles. Oh my gosh look at that. So get into the kitchen and make this little guy but before
you do check out all my other mug meals videos from pizza in a mug, macaroni and cheese, donut,
vanilla cake, whatever you want. Oh my gosh. Kevin do you want some of this? I sure do,
save some for me. Okay. Or actually I'll just make my own. Make your own. Okay, I'll see you later.
