Mascarpone Chocolate Orange Mug Cake
Ingredients
- ¼ cup plain white flour
- 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 Tbsp caster sugar
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp orange flavored olive oil, plus additional for topping
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- ¼ cup + 1 Tblsp milk
- 1 Tbsp mascarpone, plus additional for topping
Instructions
- Whisk flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
- Add oil and milk and whisk to form a batter.
- Pour into mug.
- Add 1 Tblsp of mascarpone to the top of the batter and push down with the spoon to ensure it sinks in.
- Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes (this will depend entirely on your microwave so you should try for 1 minute initially, and then put in for longer if it's not cooked). It will be cooked when the top appears dry and springy. It's OK if some of the batter in the middle is still a little melty- in fact, it's delicious!
Notes
If you don't have any orange flavoured oil, use 2 Tblsps of vegetable oil and a few drops of orange essence / a spoonful of orange zest
