- Half a teaspoon of baking powder for dough (can be replaced with regular soda).

How to cook a cake in three minutes: step by step instructions

When the presence of all the necessary components is unquestionable and it remains only to begin to conjure up the future masterpiece of cooking, we proceed to the embodiment of our intention in life.

First we sift the flour (the cupcake in the mug should turn out to be airy and gentle, therefore it is necessary to sift). In the finished flour, add cocoa powder and mix thoroughly together until uniform. Lastly, we introduce sugar into the dry mixture, and again bring everything to a homogeneous state.

To make the cupcake in the mug turn out to be tender and melting, the milk should be slightly heated. To do this, you can use the same microwave oven - quite literally 20-30 seconds at an average power, and the milk will reach the desired temperature. We pour the milk into the dishes, in which the dough will be prepared and, constantly stirring it so that a whirlpool is formed, pour a dry mixture of cocoa, flour and sugar into it.

The most recent we introduce butter into the dough, if you use vegetable, you do not need to pre-prepare, but if it's creamy, it's better to soften it slightly. Simultaneously with the oil, add the selected baking powder (soda, it is better to extinguish with vinegar). Then carefully grind the resulting mass to homogeneity, and the dough for preparing a cupcake in a mug is ready.

Then we take the selected forms for baking (mugs, bowls, glasses - everything that can be used in a microwave oven and fit the shape) and pour our dough on them. It is very important that the total volume of the mass in the containers does not exceed a third of the total height, otherwise the dough may overflow and burn.

Ready-made molds are placed in a microwave oven and switched on for maximum operation. But since this mode differs in some models, the power is usually taken as 1000 W. In this case, the cupcake is cooked in a mug for 3 minutes. If the power is 800 W, you need to add another 30 seconds to the total cooking time, 600 W - another 30 seconds. In any case, before serving the dish to the table, it is worth poking it with a toothpick and checking the readiness of the dough in this way.

You can serve the finished cupcake both in a mug and taking it out of the mold. Laying also depends exclusively on the taste of the hostess and her guests - you can decorate the dish with fresh berries, sprinkle with cinnamon, grated chocolate or powdered sugar. Very nice looks serving on a plate with colorful stripes of jam or jam - this gives sophistication even the most usual family meal.
