Chocolate mug cake

Here’s a quick and delicious chocolate mug cake—ready in about 2–3 minutes 🍫☕


Chocolate Mug Cake (Single Serving)

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/8 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: 2 tbsp chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients
    • In a microwave-safe mug (~12 oz), whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add wet ingredients
    • Stir in milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
    • Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  3. Microwave
    • Cook on high for 70–90 seconds.
    • Start with 70 seconds; check doneness with a toothpick.
    • Don’t overcook—it should be moist and slightly gooey in the center.
  4. Cool slightly
    • Let it rest 1–2 minutes (it will continue to cook slightly).
  5. Optional toppings
    • Whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

Tips

  • Mug size matters: too small → overflow; too large → spreads thin.
  • For extra fudgy texture, reduce flour by 1 tbsp.
  • Microwave powers vary; adjust timing in 10-second increments.

I can also give a vegan chocolate mug cake or super fudgy version with melted chocolate if you want. Do you want me to do that?
