Cake in a Mug #2- Coffee Edition

Hey everyone!
It's been a while since i've posted any recipies (well posted anything really) so I thought I'd give you all the version of the cake in a mug recipe that I use ALL THE TIME.

A dangerous little recipe ;) but so quick, convenient and YUMMY!

You Need:
1 Large Mug
2 tbsp Flour
2 tbsp Sugar (brown sugar tastes best)
1 tbsp Folger's Cappuccino Mocha Chocolate Mix (or any coffee mix)
1 tsp Baking Powder
1.5 tsp Cinnamon
1 Large Egg
1 tbsp Oil
1 tbsp Milk
1/4 tsp Instant Coffee

Method:

1. Combine all dry ingredients (except the instant coffee) and mix until well incorporated.
2. Now mix in the egg, oil and milk until well incorporated (may not be 100% smooth...as it may be a bit grainy from the sugar crystals).
3. Sprinkle the instant coffee on top and mix a tiny bit (they will not dissolve).
4. Pop into the microwave for 2 and a half minutes.
5. Sift a bit of icing sugar on top and....

VOILA!
Cake in a Mug (Coffee Edition).

TIPS:

• Do not use large grain instant coffee or the chunks you get in each bite may be too bitter for you to stand.
• Use a large mug to avoid the cake spilling over the top when cooking and making a mess.
• Add a little bit of unsweetened cocoa powder to a chocolatey taste!

The cake itself is not super fluffy with lots of big bubbles like how a boxed cake would come out. It is more dense, sort of like a pound cake consistency. It's so yummy and so dangerous. Personally more dangerous than the chocolate cake in a mug because it's super yummy and so addictive and will keep you up for a while!
