Hi Bold Bakers.
When I started Bigger Bolder Baking
I was known as the queen of mug cakes on YouTube.
I've made almost 100 recipes and they're my biggest videos.
But here's the thing.
You guys challenged me to see how many I could make in 15 minutes.
Well, I accept the challenge.
I've got some basic ingredients here, flour, sugar, raising agents, fruit.
I've got all my mugs.
I am ready to go.
Stay tuned to see how many I can make.
Alright Gemma, How many do you think you can make?
I think I can make ten.
I'm positive I can get there.
With that being said, Kevin can you start the clock?
I am ready.
So get started.
Okay, nobody said I couldn't use my phone.
So here I go.
On to biggerbolderbaking.com and I'm going to pick, ah,
I am going to make...chocolate banana mug cake.
There we go. Lovely. Great.
So this actually that's funny that I landed on this
because this is the very first one that we ever made.
This is the one that actually went viral
all those years ago now.
Gosh, I don't know.
2013, 2014.
Kevin, 2013, 2014?
I remember we were traveling.
Peanut butter.
I remember we were traveling to Ireland and we were in JFK
and we noticed a whole pile of emails and we had no idea what was going on.
And we'd released this video for Mug Cakes around two months prior,
and next thing you know, it just had taken off
and it got picked up like all around the world.
All these people started sharing it and everyone just went nuts for it.
And that was our very first viral video.
Now it's at, what is it at Kevin is it 12 million?
I think so.
Twelve million.
Peanut butter, one egg.
I forgot my eggs.
How did I forget eggs?
Egg. I better hurry up.
Two teaspoons of granulated sugar
and cocoa powder.
How many is that? Two tablespoons.
There we go.
This is actually a really good mug cake and people loved it
because it's kind of high protein.
There's no flour,
has a whole egg in there.
It's lovely and rich and chocolatey,
and it has that big old quarter cup of peanut butter.
Now, let's try and mix this all together
in the one mug.
That is one mug cake ready to go.
I don't know how long that took, but I'm going to get this in the microwave
and I'm going to have to get moving on my next mug cake.
Okay, start.
Okay, so that'll just take a minute.
Okay.
Next, I'm going to make strawberry cobbler in a mug.
I really like this one. Here we go.
Because I have strawberries,
which that was very smart of me.
Strawberries in there.
Do all the strawberries in there.
Some sugar.
Oh, my gosh.
How come when you're in a rush you can’t read these things.
A little bit of sugar in there
and vanilla, a little splash of vanilla.
Do do do do do do do do.
Then we give those a little mix.
Okay, So this one is a little bit different.
You have to start out with I'm going to use this bowl, oh that was smart.
And I'm going to mix the rest of my ingredients.
Okay.
I've gotta get butter.
Alright gem, that was just the ten minute mark.
That was 5 minutes.
I think I can make ten. I'm positive I can get there.
Okay, I'm going to really speed up here.
Give me a little bowl.
Okay.
That's not a tablespoon. My gosh.
You think I would have picked an easier mug cake.
See how this one is doing?
Oh, great.
Okay, one down.
In with the butter.
Butter.
Now. Two tablespoons of plain flour.
Where's my flour?
Where’s my flour? Oh, yeah.
So this one is a little bit different because you make a topping separate.
This is a lovely little sweet one,
especially when you're trying to make dessert.
Half a tablespoon.
When you want a little tiny dessert.
I don't have rolled oats, but I have oat flour.
So, comprimise.
Wait a second. That's not the right word.
Improvise.
A little bit of cinnamon.
Says a pinch, there's a pinch.
And a little bit of baking powder.
Baking powder.
A little smidgey smidge too.
Beep boop.
Okay, lovely.
Mix those ingredients together.
Pour in your butter.
Our cobbler topping,
yummy, on top of our strawberries.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay.
In the
microwave.
Two. Almost.
Okay, What else?
Oh, lovely. I'm going to do this.
This is a really fun one because it is, I think it’s flourless.
And you do a banana.
Where's my banana gone? Two thirds of a banana.
What is two thirds of a banana?
Okay, so we're going to do some fresh banana again.
So mash up that banana in your mug.
This is actually this is a flourless banana mug cake.
And it's a really good one because
two tablespoons of oil
and then we do a little bit of honey or maple syrup.
Do do do do do honey bear boop boop boop.
So in more natural sugar boop boop boop.
Oh, and then we have more oat flour in here.
So this is a fantastic one, especially for breakfast.
I've made this with George before
and he really likes it.
Six tablespoons of oat flour.
Here we go. One.
Do do, do do, do, do, do, do.
I don't want to know how I'm doing on time.
I'm going to let you know in a minute.
Don't I think I am way behind.
Like I think now I've lost count of how many of those I was doing.
And five minute mark.
No, no.
Is anybody going to be eating these after?
I don’t know if all my measurements.
They're um, what do you call it?
Freestyle. Let's see how our.
Oh, lovely.
Our strawberry cobbler.
In with our banana.
Let's make the lemon and blueberry mug cake.
If i can get four, I think that’s pretty good right?
Four? I think I can make ten. I’m positive I can get there.
Is it like in golf when the less you get, the better you do?
So this is the lemon and blueberry one.
It's like a little kind of coffee cake situation.
Four is not bad, right?
I might get five.
Blueberries in there.
Last minute. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Lemon juice in there.
Let me get this into the microwave.
Here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to do the Nutella mug cake.
And that’s our timer.
That’s our timer.
Can I include this one, can include this one, please?
Oh, I don’t think that one counts.
Come on, Come on.
Yeah, it does.
So Gemma, you ended up with?
Four. Four.
Four. Come on.
Three ish.
Four, four.
I’m calling it, it’s four.
What um, what do you think you could have done better here to reach your goal?
Less talking. I’d say be more prepared.
Like I went into this, like I didn't have a line up of mug cakes
I was going to make.
I wanted to go into it blind to make sure like it was really fair,
and maybe I should have cheated a little.
I have to say, this is a nice array of mug cakes.
They don't look the best
because I did them so fast.
But look at you, you have like, just a cobbler.
You have a protein chocolate,
you have a flourless
banana muffin, and then you have a really lovely little
blueberry and lemon, like a little bit of a coffee cake.
All right. So I'm actually pretty proud of myself.
I, you know what, I was a little bit cocky saying 10.
But I don’t think four is too bad.
Yeah, that's delicious.
I forgot how good these are.
So that was a pretty different video than what
I normally do, but it actually was a lot of fun.
So I hope you guys enjoyed it too.
