Instructions:
-
Prepare the Cake Batter:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the powdered sugar. Whisk them together until the mixture becomes smooth and lightly frothy.
Sift in the all-purpose flour and cornstarch, followed by the baking powder. Mix everything until well combined. -
Add the Fresh Raspberries:
Gently fold in the 50g of fresh raspberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them too much, allowing for small chunks of fruit throughout the cake. -
Fill the Mugs:
Select four microwave-safe mugs, each with a capacity of about 235g. Spoon the prepared batter into each mug, filling them halfway. This ensures there’s enough room for the cake to rise without overflowing during baking. -
Microwave the Mug Cakes:
Place the filled mugs into the microwave and cook them individually at 700-750W for 2 minutes. Keep an eye on the cakes while they cook, checking every 30 seconds to ensure they don’t overcook. The cakes should rise and become firm to the touch, but still moist inside. -
Cool and Garnish:
Once the microwave timer goes off, carefully remove the mugs from the microwave and allow them to cool for a few minutes. -
Decorate:
To finish, dust the tops of the mug cakes with a light sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich flavor contrast. Add 15g of Nutella® on top of each mug cake, allowing it to melt slightly into the warm cake. Garnish with the remaining fresh raspberries and a few sprigs of rosemary for a delightful and fragrant touch.
Enjoy:
