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!

Tried so many mug cake recipes and this is now my go to. Cam out perfect. Only added a little more milk to make dough lighter /fluffier! perfecto

Super good! I highly recommend (I used extra virgin olive oil)

Can dark chocolate be used in place of milk chocolate ??

I suppose it could pass as okay, but I didn’t like the texture of it

This is actually a really good Mug Cake, I’ve never had one so fluffy before! You may have over cooked it or put in the wrong ingredient measurements. That or you don’t like chocolate or decided to make a chocolate mug cake for some reason.
