📖 Recipe Card
Best Chocolate Desserts: Chocolate Mug Cake (+More Great Recipes!)
Ingredients
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 5 tablespoon milk
- ¼ teaspoon espresso powder (recommended)
- 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Nutella (optional)
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients (plus optional but highly recommended espresso powder). Whisk to combine.
- Whisk in the vegetable oil and milk until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps. Add optional chocolate chips if desired and stir to mix.
- Pour the cake batter into a mug, there should be enough room for it to rise a bit as it bakes. If adding Nutella, place it in the middle top of the batter in your mug.
- Place the mug on a paper towel in the microwave then cook on high for 1 ½ minutes, or until baked through. The top of the cake should spring back to the touch, if not heat in additional 15 second increments.
- Let your chocolate mug cake set for 1 minute in the microwave before serving.
Notes
- The cooking time may vary depending on the model of your microwave.
- To make this chocolate mug cake vegan, simply swap the milk for your favorite non-dairy milk alternative and omit the Nutella (or use vegan chocolate chips). It may slightly change the texture, but it will still be delicious.
- The cake is done when it feels springy to the touch, or you can insert a toothpick in the center and pull it out with no wet batter present.
- A pinch of salt is the equivalent of about 1/16th of a teaspoon.
- You can add up to 1 tablespoon additional sugar to make your cake sweeter if desired (but it's totally not needed).
- Microwave the mug cake on a paper towel to make cleanup a snap in case of an overflowing cake.
