Compostable Coffee Capsules
Helping the environment one espresso at a time with compostable capsules
A delicious coffee and walnut mug cake, made in the Dualit Cappuccino Cups Set with the help of our trusty Hand Mixer - perfect for you and a friend!
1. Make a single shot of espresso (we'd recommend using one of our Aluminium or Compostable Coffee Capsules but any coffee will work for this recipe). Set your espresso to one side and allow to cool.
2. In a separate bowl, use the Dualit Hand Mixer with Flat Beater Attachments to mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, oil, cocoa powder, milk and egg together. If you want to add finely chopped walnuts to your cake batter for a little crunch, also add these now.
3. Remove one teaspoon of the cooled coffee and set aside to use for the frosting, before adding the remaining cooled coffee to the cake batter.
4. Evenly spoon the mixture into two Dualit Cappuccino Cups.
5. Place one mug into the microwave for 45 seconds, before inserting a metal skewer into the centre of your mug cake to check if it is cooked. If the skewer comes out clean, your mug cake is ready, if it does not come out clean, place it back into the microwave for a further 15 seconds.
6. Once cooked through, remove the mug from the microwave and repeat step 5 for the second mug.
7. Make the frosting by adding the butter, icing sugar and teaspoon of coffee into a small bowl. Mix until a smooth paste is formed. If your mix is too loose, add more icing sugar.
8. While the cakes are still warm, use a spoon to cover the top of each with frosting before sprinkling on an even amount of chopped walnuts.
9. To make your coffee and walnut cake look like a cappuccino, cover with swirls of whipped or squirty cream and dust with cocoa powder.
