🛒 Ingredients

1 servings

1
  • 1/2 small carrot, peeled
  • 1 egg
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons neutral oil
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • For the glaze: 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

  1. 1

    Blend the carrot, egg, sugar, flour, oil, and milk together until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.

  2. 2

    Pour the batter into a large microwave-safe mug.

  3. 3

    Add the baking powder and stir it gently into the batter.

  4. 4

    Microwave on full power for 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    While the cake cooks, prepare the glaze: combine sugar, cocoa powder, and butter in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until it just starts to boil.

  6. 6

    Pour the warm chocolate glaze over the cake and enjoy immediately.

💡 Chef's Tip

Use a mug with at least 350 ml capacity to prevent overflow. A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg makes a lovely addition to the batter.
