Dessert - Something sweet and quick by Aristita P. - Recipia

A mug apple dessert is perfect when you want something sweet and quick, without having to prepare a whole tray. The mixture is made from eggs, sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, with the apples layered directly in the mug. In the microwave, the cake is ready in about 5-8 minutes, depending on the appliance and how quickly it sets in the middle. The quantities below yield two mugs, but the number of servings depends on the size of the mugs used. Quick Info Total Time: not specified; the dessert is prepared and cooked quickly Preparation Time: not specified; the mixture is combined in a single bowl Cooking Time: 5-8 minutes in the microwave Servings: approximately 2 mugs Difficulty: easy Recipe Type: quick apple dessert, made in a mug Ingredients 3 eggs 2 tablespoons of flour 2-3 tablespoons of sugar Cocoa powder, about 1 tablespoon 2 apples 1/2 packet of baking powder Preparation Method 1. Prepare the apples Wash the apples, peel them, and slice them into rounds. Remove the core before slicing to ensure there are no seeds in the dessert. The slices should not be too thick, so they fit easily in the mug and combine well with the batter. 2. Prepare the mixture Put the eggs in a bowl and beat them together with the sugar. Add the flour and mix well until there are no large lumps. Then incorporate the baking powder and cocoa powder, using about one tablespoon of cocoa. The final mixture should be smooth and slightly thick due to the flour. There’s no need to thin it out. The ingredients should be used in this order, and thoroughly mixing the eggs with the sugar and flour helps achieve a uniform mixture. 3. Layer the ingredients in the mug Place a slice of apple in a mug, then pour a little mixture over it. Continue with another slice of apple and then more mixture. Repeat the layers until the mug is filled about three-quarters full. Do not fill the mug to the brim, as the cake will rise during cooking. Even if it rises significantly and takes on a mushroom-like shape above the mug, the dessert will settle once removed. Divide the ingredients between two mugs if you are using smaller mugs or want two servings. The amount obtained may vary depending on the size of the mugs. 4. Cook the dessert Put the mug in the microwave and cook the dessert for 5-8 minutes. It’s done when the mixture has set and is no longer liquid. The time may vary between the two limits, so check the texture towards the end. If the center is still liquid, it needs more cooking. After removing it from the microwave, let the cake settle for a bit; the volume that increased during cooking will decrease. 5. Serve You can eat the dessert directly from the mug. If you prefer, you can turn it out onto a plate and decorate it with whatever you have on hand. The recipe allows for simple serving without the need for a specific topping. Why I make this recipe often It’s a practical option when you have apples and want a small dessert. It doesn’t require preparing a tray or kneading dough. The mixture comes together quickly, and most of the time is spent cooking in the microwave. I also like that the dessert can be eaten directly from the mug. If you want a neater appearance, you can turn it out onto a plate after it has settled. The amount is suitable for about two mugs, but the recipe can be divided differently depending on the available vessels. Tips Slice the apples into rounds after removing the core and seeds. This is mentioned separately in the recipe and is important for the slices to be easily layered. Fill the mugs only about three-quarters full. The mixture rises noticeably in the microwave and may overflow during cooking, even if it settles afterward. Watch the dessert towards the end of the 5-8 minute interval. The main criterion is not just the time, but that the batter must be set and not have any liquid portions. Let the cake settle before turning it out. It is normal for it to shrink after being removed from the microwave. Substitutions The recipe does not provide exact substitutions for the main ingredients. To maintain the texture, eggs, flour, and baking powder should be used according to the specified amounts. The cocoa can only be adjusted to personal taste, as about one tablespoon is recommended in the recipe. Variations You can modify how you layer the apples and the mixture, keeping the basic principle: a layer of apple, a little mixture, then more apple and mixture. It’s important that the layers do not exceed about three-quarters of the mug. For an individual serving, you can use a single mug and divide the mixture according to its size. The initial quantities were sufficient for two mugs, but the outcome depends on how large the mugs are. Serving Ideas The dessert can be served directly from the mug while it’s still in the form it was prepared. For a different presentation, turn it out onto a plate after it has cooled slightly and decorate as desired. Frequently Asked Questions 1. How many servings does this recipe yield? The ingredients were sufficient for approximately two mugs. The exact number of servings depends on the size of the mugs and how much mixture you put in each. 2. Why does the cake rise above the mug? The mixture rises during cooking in the microwave. It’s normal for it to take on a tall shape, resembling a mushroom. After it is removed, it will settle. 3. How do I know when the dessert is done? The cake is done when the mixture has set and is no longer liquid. If there is still liquid batter visible in the center, it needs more time in the microwave, within the indicated range. 4. Can I eat the dessert directly from the mug? Yes. This is one of the serving options for the recipe. If you don’t like eating from a mug, you can turn it out onto a plate and decorate it. 5. Is it necessary to remove the seeds from the apples? Yes, the apples should be cored to remove the seeds. This way, the slices used in the dessert will not contain any seeds. Nutritional Values The values are estimates and have been calculated for the entire amount, divided into two servings. They may vary depending on the size of the eggs and apples, the exact amount of sugar and cocoa, and how large the mugs are. For the entire preparation: Calories: approximately 570-630 kcal Protein: approximately 24-27 g Fat: approximately 17-20 g Carbohydrates: approximately 85-100 g For one mug, if the recipe is divided into two servings: Calories: approximately 285-315 kcal Protein: approximately 12-14 g Fat: approximately 8-10 g Carbohydrates: approximately 43-50 g The estimate includes the eggs, flour, sugar, cocoa, and apples. Since the recipe specifies a range for sugar and an approximate amount for cocoa, the values cannot be considered exact. Storage and Reheating The dessert is best consumed immediately after preparation while the apples and mixture are fresh. If a portion remains, keep it in the mug or on a plate until consumption, but the recipe does not provide an exact storage time. To reheat, you can put it back in the microwave for a short time, checking the texture. It is not advisable to heat it too much, as the mixture may harden.
