A mug has many meanings and uses. It can be a large cup, ideal for your morning coffee or tea. It can describe a person's face. Or it can be the perfect vessel for a nutty sweet treat.
On this edition of PNW Bites, host Jordan Eby brings you a regionally inspired recipe for hazelnut mug cake.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons hazelnut spread
Optional powdered sugar
1 tablespoon chopped hazelnuts, for garnish
Recipe
1. Take your dry ingredients — flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt — and put them directly into your mug and stir together.
2. Add vegetable oil and milk and mix with dry ingredients until cake batter is smooth.
3. Add hazelnut spread into the mug and fold gently into the top of the batter.
4. Put your mug in the microwave and ‘bake’ for 90 seconds. When finished, it should be fluffy and cake-like, with a bit of gooeyness from the hazelnut spread.
5. After your cake has cooled, sift powdered sugar over the top if you’d like. Then, add chopped hazelnuts as a garnish. Enjoy!
