Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 3 tbsp Biscoff spread (warmed plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 tsp brown sugar (optional)
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp full-fat milk
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
Topping
- Vanilla ice cream (for topping)
- Biscoff cookies (for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug that holds at least 250ml (1 cup), combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or small whisk to evenly distribute the baking powder.
- Warm Biscoff spread: Heat the Biscoff spread in the microwave for a few seconds until soft and easily stirrable to ensure smooth incorporation into the batter.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients: Add the warmed Biscoff spread, brown sugar (if using), full-fat milk, and neutral oil to the mug with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until no flour streaks remain. Some tiny lumps are acceptable; avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
- Microwave cooking: Microwave the mug cake batter for 1 minute. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out wet, microwave for an additional 20 to 30 seconds until fully cooked but still moist.
- Finish and serve: While the mug cake is warm, drizzle extra Biscoff spread on top. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and decorate with a Biscoff cookie. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe mug large enough to prevent overflow during rising and cooking.
- Warming the Biscoff spread helps it mix smoothly into the batter without clumps.
- The cake is best enjoyed immediately as it may become dense once cooled.
- Adjust microwave times based on your appliance’s wattage for perfect baking.
- You can substitute neutral oil with melted butter for a richer flavor if preferred.
