Chocolate Cake In A Mug

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 / 25 g All-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp / 24 g Granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp / 14 g Cocoa powder
  • ¼ tsp / 2 g Baking powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 3 tbsp / 45 ml Milk
  • ½ tsp / 2.5 ml Vanilla essence
  • 2 tbsp / 30 ml Vegetable oil
  • 20 gram Milk chocolate chunks

Instructions

Add Dry Ingredients

  • First, in a microwave-safe mug ( roughly 1 cup measurement), 3 tbsp of all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp of sugar, 2 tbsp of cocoa powder, 1/4 tsp of baking powder, and 1 pinch of 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).

Add Wet Ingredients

  • Then add in 3 tbsp of milk, 1/2 tsp vanilla essence, and 2 tbsp of vegetable oil.
  • Mix all the ingredients until well incorporated. Finally, mix in some milk chocolate chunks into the batter.

Microwave The Cake

  • 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).

Cool, Serve, And Enjoy!

  • 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!
