Overripe bananas are the best choice for baking. Their starch has completely converted to sugar and their soft, mushy texture makes them easy to incorporate into a batter. When your bananas get too ripe to eat out of hand, peel and freeze them in zip lock bags for future mug cakes.
Preparation time : 10 mins
Makes : 2 Mug Cakes
This uber-trendy cake is actually a vintage recipe from the deep south. It is as red as scarlet O'Hara's dress thanks to the combination of cocoa powder and cheap liquid red food coloring. Be sure to use the cheap stuff! Fancy food coloring pastes and gels don't work nearly as well. The vinegar was traditionally added to the baking soda as a leavener. With self-raising flour, it's not necessary, but it's added here for its classic zippy flavor.
Ingredients :
Egg : 1 large
Vegetable oil : 3 Tbsp
Butter Milk : 3 Tbsp
Vanilla extract : 2 tsp
Liquid red food coloring : 1 tsp
Granulated Sugar : 1/4 cup
Unsweetened cocoa powder : 2 Tbsp
All purpose flour : 1/4 cup
Baking soda : pinch
Kosher salt : pinch
Cider, white wine, or rice vinegar : 1/4 tsp
Method :
In a large mug, whisk together the egg and oil with a fork.
Stir in the food coloring, butter milk, vanilla, and sugar.
Add the cocoa, flour, salt, and vinegar.
Beat the batter until smooth.
Divide the batter between two mugs.
Microwave separately for 11/2 to 2 1/2 minutes each until risen and firm.
Yummy mug cake is ready to serve.
Topping ideas : Cream cheese frosting, Marshmallow Fluff, whipped cream, fresh berries, red sugar sprinkles, candied pecans, or chocolate shavings.
Variations :
Blue Velvet : You never know when you may need to make a blue cake. It's really done by replacing cheap red liquid food coloring with cheap blue liquid food coloring. For any other cake color, you'll want to omit the cocoa powder, as it will give all other food colors a tinge of brown. If you make another color, replace the cocoa powder with an equal amount of flour.
Serve your cake hot with your choice of topping.
Enjoy your dish :)
