Seasonal Microwave Mug Cakes (Egg Free Recipes) - Gemma's Bigger Bolder Baking Ep 151

Hi Bold Bakers! No matter what holiday you celebrate this time of year, we can all celebrate the fact that I have three new mug cakes for you, including pumpkin, gingerbread, and hot chocolate. And they are all egg-free recipes. So let's get started. So I have some really exciting news. I now have an e-book available to buy. It is filled with 30 of my favorite mug recipes, including 10 new exclusive ones. For a limited time, you can buy it at a discounted price and it makes a fantastic gift for the holidays. All you have to do is click the link in the description box to find out how to buy it. I really hope you enjoy it. So let's get started with our first recipe, which is a delicious gingerbread mug cake. In a microwavable mug, we're going to add in our flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger. And I just mix them all together with a fork. So into our dry ingredients, we're going to add in some milk, flavorless oil, and some molasses. And then mix together to form a batter. To make this little mug cake vegan, you can replace the milk with a dairy-free milk. So there you have it. Really simple and fast. Now this little guy is ready for the microwave. The microwave that I use to cook up the mug cakes is 1200 watts. So depending on the wattage of your microwave, your timing may vary. So in just one minute, our gingerbread mug cake is done. You can tell that it's perfectly cooked because if you touch the top, it's nice and firm. But also you can tell it's still moist in the middle. All you want to do to decorate is pipe some freshly whipped cream on top and then an extra sprinkle of spice. This little guy almost looks too sweet to eat, but that's not going to stop me. You see all these bubbles? That means it's a really nice and airy mug cake. And it's not too spicy. It is just the perfect blend of all of those ingredients. Okay, I'm not going to fill up on this one because we're going to move on to our next mug cake. Another recipe that is perfect for this time of year is a sweet pumpkin mug cake. Just like before, in a microwaveable mug, we're going to add in our flour, salt, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice. And then mix them all together. So if you don't have pumpkin pie spice in your country, don't worry. I made a really easy chart that is on my website and it shows you how you can make your own. Also, all the recipes for these mug cakes are on my website also. Into these ingredients, we're going to add in some maple syrup, milk, and pumpkin puree. And then just mix together to form a batter. So you know I'm a big fan of pretty mugs so I was really happy to get to use my seasonal mugs for this video. Everybody always asks me where I get them and generally it's in thrift stores and Goodwill. Much faster than you can whip up a pie, this little pumpkin mug cake is ready for the microwave. For those of you out there who are a little bit dubious about trying pumpkin desserts, I strongly recommend you do so because they are absolutely delicious. And there you have it. Another mug cake perfectly cooked. Now I like to decorate this guy simply with some vanilla ice cream on top. I can honestly tell you that this tastes like fall in a mug. It tastes so good and you're going to love it. Our next recipe is a drink like you have never seen it before. It is a hot chocolate mug cake. In a microwaveable mug, we're going to add in our flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. And then just mix all together with a fork. Into these ingredients, we're going to add in some milk and flavorless oil. And then just mix it all together until it forms a batter. Usually we drink hot chocolate this time of year because it's so cold outside but if you make this little mug cake, it will definitely warm you up. For those of you out there who have made my mug recipes before, you will know they are as fast to whip up as they are to eat. Now this little guy is ready to be cooked off. You can never go wrong with a chocolate mug cake so this holiday season, you can multiply the recipe and make it for your friends and family. This chocolate mug cake smells amazing. I think I kept the best till last. Now because this is a hot chocolate, we're going to decorate it with some mini marshmallows on top and then dig in while it's still warm. This little mug cake is sweet. It is rich. It's absolutely delicious. The best thing about chocolate is that you can enjoy it all year round. No matter what's your favorite holiday dessert, there is a flavor here for everyone. Do not forget to check out my new eBook by clicking the link in the description box.
