Devil's food mug cake

The name of this cake comes form the devilishly reddish tinge created when cocoa powder is mixed with baking soda. This effect doesn't work with the self-rising flour, so for this recipe we are using regular all-purpose flour.

Preparation time : 10 mins
Makes : 2 Mug Cakes

Ingredients :

Egg : 1 large
Vegetable oil : 3 1/2 Tbsp
Buttermilk : 3 1/2 Tbsp
Vanilla extract : 1/4 tsp
Granulated Sugar : 1/4 cup
All purpose flour : 1/4 cup
Baking soda : 1/8 tsp
Unsweetened cocoa powder : 2 Tbsp
Kosher salt : pinch

Method :

In a large mug, whisk together the egg and oil with a fork.
Stir in the buttermilk, sugar , and vanilla.
Add the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
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 : whipped cream, Chocolate ganache, vanilla frosting, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, shaved chocolate, raspberry sauce, or chopped nuts.

Note : If you don't care about the reddish brown color, omit the baking soda and use self-rising flour instead. The flavor is indistinguishable.

Serve your cake hot with your choice of topping.
Enjoy your dish :)
