Stunning 90-Second Chocolate Mug Cake Magic
Whip up a rich, fudgy chocolate cake right in your mug using the microwave with this Stunning 90-Second Chocolate Mug Cake Magic recipe.
Equipment
- Microwave-safe mug
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch salt
- 3 Tablespoons milk any kind
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Find a standard, microwave-safe mug (about 10-12 ounces).
- Add the dry ingredients to the mug: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Use a small fork to mix these thoroughly until no clumps remain.
- Add the wet ingredients to the mug: milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Stir everything together in the mug until you have a smooth batter. Be sure to scrape the bottom corners to incorporate all the dry mix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, if you are using them.
- Place the mug in the microwave. Cook on high power for 60 to 90 seconds. Cooking time varies by microwave wattage; start checking at 60 seconds.
- The cake is done when the top looks set but still slightly moist. Do not overcook, or it will become dry.
- Let the mug cake cool for one minute before eating directly from the mug.
Notes
For a richer, fudgier texture, reduce the cooking time by 10 seconds. You can substitute the vegetable oil with melted butter for a different flavor profile. Top your warm mug cake with a scoop of ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
