Here’s a quick and easy Chocolate Mug Cake recipe — ready in about 2–3 minutes!
🍫 Chocolate Mug Cake
Ingredients (serves 1)
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1–2 tablespoons chocolate chips or nuts
Instructions
1️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a microwave-safe mug (10–12 oz size), whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
2️⃣ Add Wet Ingredients
- Stir in milk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
3️⃣ Microwave
- Microwave on high for 70–90 seconds, or until the cake has risen and is set but still moist.
- Be careful not to overcook — it continues to cook slightly in the mug after microwaving.
4️⃣ Serve
- Let cool 1–2 minutes.
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, ice cream, chocolate syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Tips & Variations
- Fudgy: Reduce flour to 3 tablespoons for a denser, gooier cake.
- Peanut Butter: Drop 1 tablespoon of peanut butter in the center before microwaving for a surprise filling.
- Protein Boost: Add 1 scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder and reduce sugar slightly.
If you want, I can also give a single-serving molten chocolate lava mug cake version with a gooey center that’s extra indulgent.
Do you want me to provide that version?
