Gemma's Bigger Bolder Baking 1 Minute Mug Cakes Celebration!
Hi Bold Bakers! This week, we are celebrating Mug Cakes. It was not long ago that I posted
my first Mug Cake video based on your request. And since then I've made 13 unique Mug Cakes
and Cookies, received more than 4 millions views on those videos all thanks to you. And
was even featured on the Dr. Oz. So today I have 5 brand new flavors for you.
So let's get microwaving!
The new flavors I have for you today are going to be a great addition to your repertoire.
And as always, some of them are flourless, eggless and vegan. Stay tuned throughout the
video where I'm going to give you tips and tricks on how to get the perfect mug cake
every time.
Our first mug cake up is a beautiful Banana Bread. It is really moist and made with lovely
ingredients. And as a little bonus, it is flourless and suitable for vegans.
In a microwavable mug, we're going to mash up our banana nice and small. And then we're
going to add in our flavorless oil, honey and vanilla extract. And then mix all these
ingredients together.
The reason this little mug cake is so moist is because of the fresh banana and the oil.
I use coconut oil but you can use any flavorless oil you like. To this, we're going to add
in our oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. And then mix all these
ingredients together. Now you don't have to go buy oat flour. You can make it yourself
so easily by just grinding up some rolled oats. And if you don't want to use that, you
can always feel free to use regular flour.
Lastly, I'm going to add in some frozen blueberries. If you don't like them you can leave them
out but I think they're a great addition to banana bread.
Our first little mug cake is ready for the microwave. Now the timing for these cakes
is based on my microwave which is 1200 Watts. So depending on the wattage of your microwave,
your timing may vary.
Our mug cake is done and it looks so good. Now not only is this a perfect dessert but
it's actually a really great breakfast recipe if you're on the go and need something fast.
This is such a lovely cake that I'm just going to decorate it with fresh banana and some
cinnamon for extra flavor. This is the perfect treat to start or even end your day.
It's super moist. mmm
Our next mug cake up is one of my favorite flavors and that's Coffee Cake. I get a lot
of request from Irish viewers asking to show how to make a coffee cake because I think
as a nation we love anything that goes well with a cup of tea. So this recipe is for you guys!
In a microwavable mug, we're going to add in our egg, milk, and flavorless oil.
To get the coffee flavor in my baking, I always use coffee granules and I dissolve them with
a little bit of hot water. Now add your coffee into your mug and whisk well together.
To this mix, we're going to add in our flour, baking powder, salt and brown sugar. I'm using
brown sugar because I always equate dark coffee with brown sugar but if you don't have brown
sugar don't worry about it, you can always use white.
Another delicious mug cake ready for the microwave. Now before we put it in there, I want to address
one question that you most commonly ask which is why did my mug cake turn out eggy or rubbery
and it's simple. You over-microwaved it. So next time, less is more. Check on it, and
if you think it needs a little more time do a few more seconds and then you'll end up
with the perfect mug cake.
Another mug cake is done and it looks and smells amazing! I love coffee so much. So
one thing I love about these little mug cakes, and I think you do too, is that you don't
need an oven to make them and they're single servings so they're perfect for dessert or
even a little sneaky snack.
To serve my coffee cake, I'm going to make it really BIG & BOLD and make a cappuccino.
I'm going to pipe some freshly whipped cream on top and dust it with a little bit of cocoa
powder. You can even take this coffee cake to go.
Our next mug cake flavor is an oldie but a goodie. It's Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Just
like before, in a microwavable mug we're going to add in our egg, oil, milk and vanilla extract,
and then mix them all together. To this mix, we're going to add in our flour, sugar, baking powder
and salt. And mix this all together.
Lastly, we're going to toss some pineapple in melted butter and brown sugar and then
we're going to carefully lay it on top of the cake. And of course, a Pineapple Upside
Down Cake is not complete without a bright, glace cherry in the middle.
Alright, we are seconds away from another lovely flavored mug cake. I can't wait.
Another beautiful mug cake done. This little cake is perfectly served as is. In my opinion,
good cakes never go out of fashion.
As always, my written recipes are in the description box below my videos on YouTube. And if you

Our next mug cake up is probably something you never knew you could make in the microwave
and that's Strawberry Cobbler. In a microwavable mug, we're going to add in some fresh diced
strawberries. To this we're going to add in a little bit of sugar and some vanilla extract
and then mix them all together.
For our cobbler topping, we're going to make it in a separate bowl. You want to add in
your flour, oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of salt and then mix them all together.
Now pour in your melted butter and stir with a fork until it resembles large bread crumbs.
Once your cobbler topping is mixed, spread it over your lovely strawberries. Look at
how pretty this little mug cake is. It is so sweet.
And feel free to add in some nuts or whatever you want to your cobbler topping. Ok, ready
for the microwave.
Look at how pretty this mug cake is. I just love color of the strawberries. Now you have
another unique dessert you can make in the microwave in just minutes.
To serve my cobbler, I like to dust it with a bit of icing sugar and place a beautiful
strawberry on top. This mug cake is light and perfect for the season.
Our next mug cake flavor I've been saving to give you at just the right time and I think
this is it. It's the much-requested, BIG & BOLD Nutella Mug Cake.
Now this is a whole lot of cake. It's super chocolatey, moist and perfect for any celebration.
Just like before, in a microwavable mug we're going to add in our softened nutella, egg,
milk, and vanilla extract and then whisk these all together. Once your nutella is all mixed
in and everything is nice and smooth, we're going to add in our dry ingredients.
Add in your flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. And then mix
all of this together. Oh my gosh, just look at how chocolatey this is and it's not even
baked yet.
My Nutella Mug Cake is ready for the microwave and it already looks so decadent. Now remember
you can always use my Homemade Nutella recipe for this little cake. Our Nutella Mug Cake
is done and it smells so chocolatey. And if you touch the top of it, you can see how moist
it is.
This is such an impressive mug cake and it is perfect to give as a gift to someone that you love.
Now just top it off with my No Machine Homemade Ice Cream and of course some sprinkles on top.
So make someone's day a little bit brighter and share a mug cake with them. Or just do
something nice for yourself. Mmm.
