I don’t always have the time to make ellaborate desserts, but my sweet tooth doesn’t care about that. In exactly this situation I was today – I just needed a quick sweet fix, one that had chocolate and could be served with the fresh strawberries I just bought. And this chocolate mug cake seemed like the right choice. Only after I baked it I realized how good it tastes and how amazing it is to have such a quick and easy option for those busy days. I made this cake in both mugs and ramekins and it turned out just as good either way. Moreover, the recipe is quite versatile – you can add a dollop of Nutella over the batter or mix chocolate chips in the batter then bake. How about a dollop of peanut butter to make it even better?! And it’s all done in under 10 minutes – how great is that?!

The recipe is incredibly simple and easy and you can watch me making it on my brand new Youtube channel – Pastry Workshop. Please Subscribe and stay tuned for new videos as this new activity is actually quite fun to be honest.

ROMANIAN!

Ce sa fac, m-ati prins cu mata in sac ca sa spun asa – nu tot ce fac eu dulce e complicat, cu straturi multe sau arome exotice ori neobisnuite. Cateodata ma loveste pofta de dulce asa, in plin, si atunci as da orice pentru un felie de tort. Norocul meu ca nu e nevoie decat de 5 minute si imi pot satisface pofta cu varf si indesat. Serios, 5 minute aveti nevoie pentru a face acest tort de la cap la coada! Doar 5 minute si va puteti bucura papilele cu un tort ciocolatos, cu gust de brownie, dens, umed si neasteptat de gustos avand in vedere ca e facut in 5 minute la microunde. Mai mult decat atat, puteti urmari intregul proces in noul meu clip de pe Youtube. Nu uitati sa va Abonati caci in mod cert vor mai urma retete.

Ingrediente:

• 4 linguri faina alba
• 2 linguri cacao neagra
• 1/2 lingurita praf de copt
• 1 praf de sare
• 2 linguri zahar
• 6 linguri lapte
• 2 linguri ulei vegetal
• 1/2 lingurita extract de vanilie
• 1 cub de ciocolata neagra/ciocolata cu lapte sau alba sau 1 lingura Nutella sau unt de arahide

Mod de preparare:

1. Amestecati faina, cacaoa, praful de copt, sarea, zaharul, laptele, uleiul si vanilia intr-o cana care poate fi pusa in cuptorul cu microunde. Puteti folosi si un ramekin in loc de cana.
2. Mixati ingredientele cu o furculita doar pana obtineti un aluat omogen.
3. Puneti un cub de ciocolata sua o lingura de Nutella peste aluat si coaceti tortul in cuptorul cu microunde, setari maxime, pentru 60-90 secunde. Doar 60 secunde veti obtine un tort mai dens si umed, 90 secunde e putin mai uscat, mai pufos.
4. Lasati tortul sa se racoreasca si garnisiti cu inghetata, frisca batuta, sos de ciocolata, sos de fructe ori fructe proaspete.
