Description

Whip up a decadent single-serving chocolate mug cake in just minutes using your microwave. This ultra-quick dessert boasts a moist, fluffy texture with a rich chocolate flavor, making it the perfect treat for when time (and patience) is scarce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 4 tbsp Granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp Baking powder
  • A pinch Salt
  • 3 tbsp Milk
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 Chocolate chips (For extra indulgence)

Instructions

Mix Dry Ingredients:

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Add Wet Ingredients:

  1. Pour in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a smooth batter forms, ensuring there are no lumps.

Incorporate Extras:

  1. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips or your favorite mix-ins.

Microwave:

  1. Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute 30 seconds. Check doneness—the cake should be set around the edges with a slightly moist center. If needed, microwave in 10-second bursts until done, being careful not to overcook.

Cool and Enjoy:

  1. Allow the mug cake to cool for about 1 minute before digging in. Enjoy straight from the mug for the ultimate quick dessert experience.

Notes

  • Microwave wattages vary, so adjust cooking time as needed for your appliance.
  • Enjoy the mug cake warm for the best texture and flavor.
  • Experiment with different add-ins such as nuts, berries, or a dollop of peanut butter for a personalized twist.

Enjoy your Microwave Mug Cake—a fast, fuss-free way to indulge in a rich, chocolaty dessert whenever the craving strikes!
