Ingredients
- 3 ½ tablespoon butter melted, plus a little extra for greasing
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ⅓ cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 egg , small
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup coffee
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ⅓ cup chocolate, roughly chopped into chunks
For the sauce
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 heaped tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup boiling water
Instructions
- Grease 4 regular sized mugs or 4 small ramekins and preheat your oven to 350F / 180C.
- Put the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl and mix until combined.
- Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, coffee, vanilla and milk, then pour into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chunks.
- Divide the batter into 4 containers, filling about ⅔ of the way.
- To make the sauce: In a small bowl mix together the boiling water, sugar and cocoa powder until the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the sauce over the chocolate batter. Divide it between the 4 mugs.
- Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 20-25 minutes until the surface looks risen and crisp. Dust with icing sugar, and top with ice cream if you like and serve straight away – as you scoop to the bottom of your mug you should find a gorgeous chocolate sauce underneath!
