Rosé Champagne Mug Cake
Servings: 1
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 minute
Total Time: 11 minutes
Ingredients:
for the rose champagne syrup
4 tbsp rosé champagne can also be substituted with brut rosé
1 tbsp granulated white sugar
for the cake
4 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp granulated white sugar
2 tbsp fat-free milk or low-fat milk
2 tbsp rosé champagne syrup
1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
1-2 drops of pink food coloring
for the frosting (serves 2)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tbsp rosé champagne, you can also substitute with a few drops of champagne extract
2 tsp granulated sugar
1-2 drops of pink food coloring
Directions:
In a small saucepan, add syrup ingredients and stir to mix. Turn on the stove and bring the ingredients to a boil over medium heat. Cook until the syrup is reduced to half the amount, stirring occasionally to fully dissolve the sugar into the champagne. This should take about 3 minutes. You should be left with 2 tbsp of champagne syrup.
For the cake, combine all ingredients in an oversized microwave-safe mug. Mix with a small whisk until the batter is smooth. If desired, pour batter into a 6 oz champagne coupe glass. Make sure the batter only fills up half of the glass as it will rise further when cooking.
Cook in microwave at full power for about 1 minute. The top of the cake should look cooked. Let mug cake cool while making frosting.
To make the frosting: combine frosting ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer and whip on high speed until stiff peaks form. Let the cake cool for a few minutes before frosting the top of the cake. If you are only making a single cake, you can store the rest of the frosting in the fridge for later use. The cake is best consumed while still slightly warm.
Notes:
Because this cake cooks for just 1 minute, I cooked mine directly in the champagne glass with no issues. But if you’re worried about heating your champagne glass, you can also cook the cake in another mug or bowl and then plate it in the champagne glass.
