5-Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

Ingredients (Serves 1):

  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a microwave-safe mug, mix the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients:
    Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until you get a smooth batter.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips (Optional):
    Stir in the chocolate chips for extra gooeyness.
  4. Microwave:
    Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave’s power. The cake should rise and look set on top.
  5. Cool Slightly & Enjoy:
    Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes (it will be hot!). Enjoy straight from the mug or transfer it to a plate.

Tips:

  • For a vanilla version, omit cocoa powder and replace it with an extra tablespoon of flour.
  • Add a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra treat.

Perfect for satisfying a cake craving in just minutes! 🍫🎂
