A quick and easy single-serving chocolate dessert, perfect for satisfying a sudden sweet craving. This recipe lets you mix a few simple ingredients right in your mug and microwave for a warm, fudgy cake in minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mug. Stir until just combined and no dry lumps remain.
  3. If using, stir in the chocolate chips.
  4. Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the cake is set but still slightly moist in the center. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage.
  5. Let cool for a minute before enjoying directly from the mug.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • Add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat.
  • Be careful not to overcook, as this can make the cake dry.
