In The Mix - Baked In's Chocolate Mug Brownie Mix

Name: Chocolate Mug Brownie Mix

Company: Baked In

Bought In: Whirligig Toy Shop

After having done the gluten free version of these gorgeous mug brownies and really liking them I had to see how the non-gluten-free ones compare. The recipe is exactly the same (to the word… I checked), the kit comes with enough for four delicious mug cakes and all u need is butter and milk or water (this means you can make this recipe dairy free if need be.)

Part 1) Put the butter into a mug and melt in the microwave: My brother wanted to make sure we had the right amount with measuring spoons but its just a small heaped tsp. The instructions say 10 to 20 secs but in my 800W microwave it was more like 25. You may want to have your butter out for a bit before using it for this recipe.

Part 2) Add milk or water: The choice means that this kit can be turned into a dairy free alternative BUT the box says it may contain TRACES of milk so its up to you if you are lactose intolerant.

Part 3) Mix “thoroughly” and microwave: Really do make sure you mix thoroughly so the ingredients combine properly and you get a great fluffy cake. I mixed one more than another and it rose more so definitely do that!

Part 4) Sprinkle the marshmallows on top and allow your cake to cool: I recommend popping the marshmallows on top straight away so they melt into the top, mmmm! The lovely instructions say this about leaving your cake to cool before eating it “Sorry, we know this is tough but trust us on this on – it will be HOT”. They are right, it is HOT to start with but don’t let it cool completely, it is lovely when it’s warm and melty!

The last point on the instructions says to enjoy straight from the mug possibly, to make it more awesome, with vanilla ice cream! I didn’t have any ice cream but that sounds good, try that! I have to say, delicious as their gluten-free counterparts were, these mug cakes are fantastic and I definitely recommend them to anyone who loves chocolate and cake!
