A mug cake is the fastest way to turn protein powder into dessert. Egg white protein sets like egg in the microwave, so the cake rises and stays moist if you stop cooking while the centre is still a little soft.
Ingredients (1 mug cake)
- 30 g (1 scoop) egg white protein powder
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) cocoa powder
- 2 ml (1/2 tsp) baking powder
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) maple syrup or honey
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) milk
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) melted butter
- A few dark chocolate chips (optional)
Method
- Stir the protein powder, cocoa and baking powder together in a large mug.
- Add the syrup, milk and melted butter and stir until smooth. Drop in the chocolate chips.
- Microwave on high for 60 to 75 seconds, until risen and just set on top.
- Let stand 1 minute and eat warm.
Notes
- Every microwave differs; start with 60 seconds and add 10-second bursts.
- Overcooking makes it rubbery.
