Hi Bold Bakers! So I'm assuming a lot
of you have showed up for Gemma Eats. Now I really
hope you enjoyed this series, we made around 5 episodes,
they really were a lot of fun
to make and be a part of. If you didn't see them,
go and check them out, we will be doing
more in the future, I promise you.
As of right now, next Monday is going to be a live Q&A,
so in the comments below get in...
All of your questions, for me, for Kevin,
even for waffles, he might make an appearance,
anything you want to know, write in the comments below
and we'll answer it all next week.
It's the same time as my video launch, 8.30,
so make sure that you're there to check
it out.
Now, considering that you're here
and everyone's ready to see something, I'm gonna show
you how to make this lovely, simple little chocolate mug cake.
In a microwaveable mug, I'm gonna mash
some banana until it's nice and fine.
Once your banana is all mashed up,
I'm going to go in and crack in an egg.
Now, if you do not eat eggs, don't worry about it,
you can always add in extra banana to
substitute for your egg.
Now if you haven't already seen it,
I've got an egg substitute chart on my website
and it helps you substitute eggs out of any recipe,
so download that and always have it
to hand when you're baking.
Next ingredient we're gonna add in is peanut butter.
Now this makes it a high protein mug cake
and it gives you lots of energy and keeps
you full for hours.
Then just take your fork and mix them all together.
So this mug cake is gluten free which is great,
but it can also be paleo if you change the
peanut butter into almond butter, lovely.
Okay so now it's all mixed up,
next we're gonna add in some cocoa powder, and a little
bit of sugar, just to give it extra sweetness.
If you don't want sugar you can leave it out.
Then simply go back in with your fork and bring it all together.
So as quick as this little cake was to mix up,
it cooks in no time at all.
I'm gonna pop them into the microwave
for roughly 45 seconds to a minute.
So while my cake is in the microwave,
I've got one minute to tell you about my microwave
mug meals page.
On my website, I've got a whole page dedicated
to my most popular mug meals recipes.
My pizza, brownie, mac and cheese, it's all there.
So the next time you're looking for my recipes,
you go to that page and they're all laid
out ready for you to go.
The link can be found in the description box below
this video, and make sure you head over
there and check it out.
So in no time at all my mug cake is out of the microwave,
it's lovely and warm and it's
ready to be eaten. So I'm just gonna lay a few slices of banana on top,
just for a little bit
more natural goodness. And while it's
still warm I'm gonna take a nice spoonful.
I love this mug cake because it's kind of like
a bit of a cheater's brownie, it's got
peanut butter, it's got loads of all the lovely sugar
in there from the banana, mmm, absolutely
delicious and I recommend eating it warm
so it stays really soft and moist, mmm.
Make sure you check out all my other mug recipe videos,
come back next week for my live Q&A,
get your questions into me in the comments
below, and I'll see you back here really
soon for more Bigger Bolder Baking.
