Chocolate Mochi Mug Cake

Chocolate Mochi Mug Cake

Among many important life lessons, my parents instilled in me one fundamental truth: dessert follows dinner. No sooner do I finish my last bite of dinner than I crave something sweet to wash it down. Tonight I’ll be making my second batch of these chocolate mochi mug cakes. This sweet tooth is programmed into my genes.

Chocolate Mochi Cake

Mind you, my mom tried hard to feed me a balanced meal, but the odds were stacked against her. While my dad loved steak and potatoes, I hated steak. So much that I’d covertly drop chewed up pieces of meat under my chair for the dog, trying to hurry my way to the ice cream portion of the meal. I’m a role model for picky children everywhere. But guys, can you really blame me? Dessert is awesome.

Just last week while visiting my parents, I glanced over to find my dad sitting in his recliner with a big smile on his face, spooning ice cream out of oversized jar of Nutella. No shame. He announced that he’d read about it online – “when the Nutella jar is almost empty, you fill it with ice cream to create a sundae so nothing goes to waste.” I suspect he’s been using Pinterest on his iPad.

(Don’t tell anyone that I was secretly envious he’d thought of it first.)

Microwave Mochi Cake

A few weeks ago, my blogger friend Jennifer of Kirbie’s Cravings sent me a copy of her new cookbook, 5-Minute Mug Cakes and now I’ll never have an excuse for skipping dessert again (Thanks Jennifer!). I’m a huge fan of desserts that satisfy your sweet tooth cravings in just minutes (and don’t require filling an old Nutella jar up with ice cream).

Microwave Chocolate Mochi Cake

It’s no surprise that this chocolate mochi mug cake is the first one from her gluten-free section to catch my eye. To give you a clear picture of how deep my love of mochi runs, the three things we currently stockpile in our house are toilet paper, paper towels, and bags of sweet rice flour (for making mochi).

Last year, I baked a 3-layer mochi cake with chocolate mochi, matcha mochi, and vanilla mochi. It took forever, but tasted like heaven. This chocolate mochi mug cake version takes 3 minutes start to finish and tastes just as decadent. You don’t find lots of chocolate in Japanese desserts, but this marriage produces a moist rich chocolate cake that’s similar in density to a brownie, but incredibly stretchy and chewy.

Mochi Chocolate Cake

I’ve been down for the count with a persistent cough for the past week. On the up side, it comes with a gravelly voice that makes everything I say come across super sexy. “Do you want to eat this mug cake, honey?” suddenly sounds so seductive. I bet you want to eat it now too, right?

Chocolate Mochi Mug Cake

Chocolate Mochi Mug Cake

Yield: 1 mug cake

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons sweet rice flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon unsweetened dutch-processed cocoa powder (I use Rodelle cocoa powder)
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons non-fat milk (or soy milk)
  • Optional: powdered sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Whisk together all of the dry ingredients in a medium microwave safe mug (I used a 4-ounce tea cup in the photos above and it just reaches the very top, so I'd recommend using 4-ounces or larger).
  2. Add the wet ingredients and use a fork or a small whisk to mix until the batter is smooth.
  3. Cook in the microwave for 1 minute. If the cake is not done, heat an additional 15 seconds. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately.

    This looks so good! And I can’t believe how simple it is to make. DANGEROUSLY simple…

    I too am a fan of the sexy sick voice. :)

    My favorite quick dessert is dates with almond butter. It’s what I resort to on the (very) rare occasions that I’m out of all things dessert-like and am absolutely desperate.

      Oh man, I bet you’ve been eating a lot of that because you’re probably running low on dessert all the time right now;) (Also – I may have made way too many “test” batches of this…even though the first one turned out just fine)

      Another simple one that’s similar: open up a medjool date, take out the pit, replace the pit with one or two whole pecans. Bingo! Raw, sweet and gooey dessert with lots of sugar to soothe the sweet-toothed tiger in us, but lots of fiber to slow down the release of sugar into our blood streams. I swear, it tastes almost exactly like pecan pie.

      Not kidding. ; D

    Can you believe I have yet to make a mug cake? I feel like I’ve let Pinterest down. As for my favorite quick dessert, the usual around here is ice cream (that Nutella jar thing is genius and is SO happening around here next time the Nutella jar is low), but lately I’ve been on a avocado chocolate pudding kick.

      While many of my recipes can be substituted with all-purpose flour, this unfortunately isn’t one of them. This cake relies on the sticky texture of sweet rice flour to turn into mochi. Without it, I’m afraid it wouldn’t bake up properly. Check out Kirbie’s Cravings for some more mug cakes if you’re looking for one to use with all-purpose flour!

I love mochi and chocolate mochi sounds even more fantabulous! Your dad is a genius! I love his nutella sundae idea. I’ve only done that with peanut butter by making overnight oats in it and sticking the jar in the fridge – that way it absorbs all the flavors and no waste. I’m totally trying that with ice cream next time :)

    1) your dad is a genius
    2) now I need to eat a bunch of Nutella just so I can get to the point in the jar that I can do that.
    3) I still haven’t tried a mug cake yet
    4) I need to try a mug cake immediately.

      1. He’s the best trivia teammate too.
      2. I mean, you can’t let all that Nutella go to waste. And you MUST try this trick asap, you know. For testing sake.
      3. Dooo ittttt.
      4. See above.

    I was looking for recipes for leftover glutinous rice flour and found your fantastic contribution — thanks so much! However PMS led me to a new discovery: DOUBLE MOCHI MOLTEN LAVA CAKE. After about 25 seconds in my less-than-powerful microwave on 50%, I gave everything a thorough mix and plopped in one chocolate ice cream mochi. You can find it in some (Asian and other) groceries, and it’s basically a ping-pong sized, moon-colored mochi skin enveloping a ball of chocolate ice cream (although I don’t approve of their lifestyle choices, the peanut one might be acceptable to peanut butter lovers…). Good and hard straight from the freezer, it melted perfectly in the second half of my “bake” to produce a gooey, slightly chewy (“QQ”) white mochi layer and a molten chocolate center. My inner child nearly fainted with glee. Anyway, great recipes — thanks again!

    Very easy recipe to make. Although it was really dry when it baked in the microwave. Apart from that tastes amazing :)

      So sorry it came out that way for you – Mochi should definitely not be dry (it’s actually very hard to make mochi dry because of the sweet rice flour). I’ve noticed one thing with more people baking these days (that I’ve just updated to specify across my site) is that some people are accidentally using “white rice flour” or “brown rice flour” instead of “sweet rice flour.” That would definitely cause the cake to come out dry since sweet rice flour (or mochiko) is sticky and traps in the moisture. Let me know if that is perhaps the culprit! If that’s not the culprit, I suspect your microwave is more powerful than the cookbook author’s and mine, so reducing the time in the microwave should solve the issue!

Chewy gluten-free lemon cookies with crisp edges. Chewy gluten-free lemon cookies with crisp edges. This cookie marks the shifting of micro-seasons from Holiday Winter to New Year Winter (TM). It's a subtle change, one mostly perceivable in the baked goods coming out of each, but one that I believe should be celebrated with plenty cookies (both before and after the seasonal shift).

So here are are, firmly in the land of backyard citrus, so I’m making all the lemon desserts. These cookies have sturdy crisp edges with a soft and fluffy, but intensely chewy center and a punch of lemon. Get the recipe link in my profile @snixykitchen.

Last year, Zoella (4) peeled and ate a blood orange she’d found in a bush in our side yard when we weren’t looking. We found the sticky peels on the steps and panicked - where did this blood orange come from? Did an animal bring it? Is she going to get sick?! 
•
And that’s how we discovered our neighbors have a blood orange tree. By that point, it had dropped most of its fruit except for a few very high up branches that leaned over our fence. The tree is fruiting and nearly ripe again so I’m hopeful I can barter for a bag of oranges in exchange for some slices of this bundt cake.

We’re mixing up our meal planning routine with t We’re mixing up our meal planning routine with this savory gluten-free dutch baby topped with gruyere, a pile of buttery thyme mushrooms, and garlic wilted Baby Kale. Getting out of our dinner rut feels refreshing! Made in partnership with @plenty, this breakfast, lunch, or dinner anytime dish shows off their pesticide-free greens that are vertically farmed right here in the Bay Area. I’ve told you this before and it’s not an exaggeration when I say these are my favorite greens – they somehow taste fresher and more vibrant. 
•
I dropped some of this dutch baby off with my neighbor and, without prompting, she immediately texted, “YOM. I would make this. Greens are hella good.” It’s true. The greens are the star. If you’re in the Bay Area, use the link in my profile to find out where to get them near you!
•
Related big news: Ira (2) voluntarily ate cooked Baby Kale without throwing it on the floor or sneakily moving it to his sister’s plate. Even Ira knows a good thing when he sees it. 
•
For the gluten-free dutch baby recipe, search “almond dutch baby” on snixykitchen.com. Omit the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, and top it with grated gruyere 5 minutes before it’s done. For topping, saute some mixed mushrooms in butter with fresh thyme, and sliced garlic. Then add a few handfuls of Baby Kale and toss just to wilt. Salt & pepper to your heart’s content. If you want the extra flare, add a runny fried egg (eggs on eggs – why not?).

The ones we make for Santa will surely be rainbow swirled and very messy with a pile of sprinkles as thick as the cookie (I’ve heard that’s how Santa likes them anyhow).

Fun fact: I had to buy these holiday cookie cutters specifically for this post. There was a good couple of years where I only had a hippo cookie cutter and made holiday hippos every year. I still prefer my more eclectic cutters to the traditional ones. What’s your favorite cookie cutter in your collection?

I don’t know about you, but I could use a warm hug right about now. A slice of coffee cake with a ribbon of cinnamon sugar, a pile of streusel, and a vanilla icing drizzle feels like the food equivalent to that.
