A quick and easy chocolate orange mug cake, perfect for a late-night dessert craving. This single-serve cake bakes in the microwave in just 2 minutes, featuring a delightful combination of chocolate and fresh orange zest.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the melted butter and both sugars until well combined.
  2. Stir in the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
  3. Add the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Fold in the orange zest and chocolate chips, if using.
  5. 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.
  6. Let the mug cake cool for a minute before enjoying.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • Adjust microwave time based on your microwave’s wattage. Start with 60 seconds and add 10-15 second increments if needed.
  • Add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat.
