Happy Friday! Remember when I said I had all these great posts from snowpocalypse and then posted NOTHING? Fun right? Well they’re coming, I promise. But let’s stay consistent with another mug cake.
And in a Dharma Initiative mug no less. (The Constant will always be the best episode amiright?)
Happy Weekend!!!!
Pear Mug Cake
Ingredients
- 1 oz butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp granulated white sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp light cream
- 6 Tbsp AP flour
- 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 Tbsp sliced almonds
- 1/2 pear peeled and deseeded
Instructions
- Place half of pear in a small bowl with 1 tbsp of water and cook in microwave for 1 minute 10 seconds, set aside
- Melt butter in microwave, set aside
- In a microwave safe mug, add egg, sugar and vanilla and beat together with fork until combined
- Add cream, flour, baking powder, almonds and butter, one at a time, beating each in before adding the next
- Take your half pear and push it into the middle of the batter, sprinkle more sliced almonds on top
- Microwave for 1 minute 40 seconds and allow to cool slightly before enjoying
P.S.
*I chose not to top this guy, but feel free to do icing, Nutella, or melted white chocolate on top
*I think this cake is a little bit of a cop out, if you want to make it a little more intense, I would recommend shredding the pear on a cheese grater and adding it in last (beating it into the batter) before microwaving, so the pear is easier to obtain in each delicious forkful
That seems like an awful lot of baking powder. Most mug cakes call for 1/4 teaspoon, maybe 1/2. But 1/2 Tablespoon?
