Can I use white sugar or caster sugar? Yes, you can substitute it equal to the amount of brown sugar in this recipe. Please note brown sugar makes the pudding softer and richer. Cocoa powder: Use unsweetened to make sure that you do not end up with a pudding that is too sweet. Why is it hard and chewy? It is likely that you have overcooked the cake. 90 seconds will be plenty of cooking time for this cake in the majority of microwaves. If you know that your microwave is more powerful than normal microwaves, reduce the power to 80%. Don't confuse the chocolate sauce for uncooked batter. When in doubt, a slightly undercooked cake is far better than an overcooked cake!

As you can see in the top photo, I served my son’s in a bowl with a few banana chips. Me? I couldn’t wait. I just spooned ice cream into the mug. Your dessert dilemma is sorted. Home-made cakes donʼt come much simpler than this! Spoon through zesty, spiced yogurt to reach the glorious sponge beneath. Make sure when you’re stirring it all together that you mix the dates at the bottom of the mug in. Continue to stir making sure there are no lumps but don’t over-mix it. You can mix the batter in the mug, add the jam at the end and push it under the batter (less dishes).

Large mug (or two!) for the sponge: We like to use two of our extra-large mugs. The mug will only end up being half full of sponge, but it does need room to rise while it’s in the microwave.This also limits spillage and time spent cleaning the microwave. Why is my pudding overflowing? If your pudding overflowed, you are using a mug that is too small. Use a mug which is at least 350 mL (12.5 oz), or use a small microwave-safe bowl. If your pudding starts to overflow, stop the microwave and let the pudding sink down, then resume cooking. Mix flour, brown sugar, and cocoa powder in a large microwavable mug until well combined. Add in milk and oil, then stir again until smooth.

You could vary the pudding and add a dollop of chocolate spread, some peanut butter or some lemon curd instead of jam. I’m not gonna lie here, I seriously enjoyed breaking out my Christmas mugs for this affair. They’re both from Waitroseand I think they’re brilliant! Cook in microwave for 30 seconds. (Mixture should be combined and cooked. If undissolved cocoa exists, zap for an extra 10 seconds.) Make sure your mug or bowl is microwave-safe and does not have any metal lining or aluminum engravings.You won’t be able to over-indulge like you might with a whole pudding, or is that just a problem in our house?

Economical and basic it may be, but a dollop of whipped cream and strawberries will make it impressively date night-worthy! Another mug or a microwave-proof jug for the sauce: we just use a plastic jug, but if you don’t have one, you can make the sauce in another mug. If you’re making for two then you can just split the egg between the two mugs, but if you’re just doing for one then beaten egg will keep in the fridge covered for up to 2 days.I used your regular sized coffee mug to allow for mixing and spluttering in the microwave. Its so, so easy. Just a matter of spooning in flour, cocoa, sugar and milk. Topping with a sprinkling of cocoa and brown sugar and then some hot water. Zap in the microwave for 30 seconds (although mine needed 40 seconds) and tip out into a bowl. The sauce is sitting at the bottom of the cup. When you are hit with a desperate need for chocolate, this Self-saucing Chocolate Pudding in a Mug recipe will give you what you want and more! You can make this gooey, chocolate-suffused treat in just 7 minutes using just a mug and a microwave! Put the yogurt, sweetener, carrot, orange zest, vanilla extract and egg yolk in a mixing bowl and mix until well combined. Stir in the flour mixture, then carefully fold in the egg white using a metal spoon. Start by greasing the inside of the mug with butter. Some of this will melt into the mixture when you cook it but it does still help with getting the pudding out at the end if that’s what you want to do. As far as microwave cakes go, I am so often underwhelmed with the result. But this self-saucing mug pudding is definitely an exemption. It's rich, fluffy, and moist; it even rivals the classic oven-baked version!
