MICROWAVE JAFFA MUG CAKES
These littles cakes were originally created by my sweet tooth father after he was craving something chocolately and the oven was broken. I have been playing around with this recipe for a while and have created my own Jaffa (Chocolate and Orange) version made using (microwave safe) soup mugs. Enjoy!
What you will need:
8 tablespoons butter
1 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon orange essence
1/4 cup orange juice
2 cups of self raising flour
1/2 cup Dutch cocoa
2 eggs
Chocolate Drizzle;
1 cup icing sugar
200 grams milk chocolate melted
1/2 cup orange juice
What to do:
In a large bowl beat together 6 tablespoons of butter with 1 cup of caster sugar. Add in the orange essence, orange juice and eggs, Continue to beat. Sift in the flour and cocoa and beat until a smooth batter forms. Grease your mugs with a little butter and pour in the batter. about 2/3 full. Cook for around 2 minutes. Turn your cakes out into a bowl and drizzle with the chocolate orange glaze. To make the glaze simply whisk together the melted chocolate, sifted icing sugar and orange juice. Makes around 4 mug cakes.

Thanks for linking up with un in The Friendly Bunch Blog Hop! good to have you!
This looks delicious. Anything chocolate is welcome
This looks so delicious. Too bad I can’t cook (I hate myself for that). Okay, I can’t resist but ask you a question? How can you take such AMAZING, SPECTACULAR photographs? I’ve been meaning to ask for a while, but everytime I top by your blog, you have these out-of-the-world stunning photographs. I feel like a mouse at times!
Haha thanks. Honestly just a lot of practice, a super talented brother to teach me and some good books about food photography
And i bet you can cook! I mess up alot! Only the things that work make it to the blog so don’t think you have to be 100% perfect all the time, cooking is a lot of trial and error xo
Wow your brother seems to be a very talented photographer himself. Not to mention his super genius sister too. haha..
Ohh don’t say. The only thing I can make is tea, coffee, instant noodles, toast, fries and omlette. Maybe a sandwich too. My mom is screaming at me because I haven’t picked up any cooking skills from her. Both my parents are amazing cooks, but (unfortunately) I inherited none from them. haha
Naww <3
Haha I had to learn to cook out of necessity, both my parents are awful cooks haha pretty sure if they weren't I never would have started
Well you are a fabulous cook. Those desserts are eye-popping delicious! haha
Thanks
