Perfect chocolate cake in a mug
This awesomely delicious chocolate mug cake is a single-serving one. Another good thing about this microwave mug cake is, you will only need one mug to do the whole prepping and baking process. So it’s not only very delicious but also very easy to make too.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp / 44.36 g All-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp / 29.57 g Granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp / 29.57 g Cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp / 1.23 g Baking powder
- 1 pinch / 1 pinch Salt
- 3 tbsp / 44.36 ml Milk
- ½ tsp / 2.46 ml Vanilla essence
- 2 tbsp / 29.57 ml Vegetable oil
- 20 gram / 20 gram Milk chocolate chunks
Instructions
- First, in a microwave-safe mug ( roughly 1 cup ( roughly 1 cup measurement) all purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Then give the dry ingredients a good mix. (here you can also use brown sugar instead of white to give the cake a nice gooey texture).
- Then add in the milk, vanilla essence and oil. Mix all the ingredients until well incorporated. Finally mix in some milk chocolate chunks into the batter.
- Now microwave for 1 minute. (here I’ve used a 1200w microwave, if yours is different then the timing may vary. If the microwave you have is less than 1200w, it may take you up to 1.5-2 minutes to make the cake).
- Take it out of the microwave oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
- Dust your cake with some icing sugar and drizzle it with some chocolate sauce or you can serve the cake with some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

this was an awesome recipe i but recommend adding only 1 tbs of caoco powder and a little more milk and flour it gives the mug cake more of a milk chocolate taste which is delicious
Was in a hunt for an easy and tasty cake recepie and I finally got one !!!!!! Next time gonna try with extra milk 🙂
Really good but I added a lot more milk almost double .
Just see the video for the consisitency .
Perfect result…. I just added a little more milk
Omg sooo yumm! I tried a few recipes and this one was awesome and I even ran out of vanilla! I added a few dashes of cinnamon and a couple chopped chocolate Hersey nuggets and I’m talking, tasted like a mexican cocoa soufflé.
This Was Amazing Like Out of all the mug cakes i tried this was the best! its was so good so moist and not to chocolate-y!
i rlly recommend this recipe!
I’ve tried so many mug cakes and none of them are good except for this one. This mug cake is so delicious and so easy to make. I definitely recommend it!
It was so easy but just Mabey 1 thing of coco powder but it was so good
Soo yummy! I just added extra milk and it turned out perfect I would make it another time and it’s also very easy and if u use a oversized cup it will come out nice and I recommend u add another tsp of baking soda to make it rise better
