- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 tbsp milk (any kind)
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 0.25 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips (optional)
How to make Microwave Chocolate Mug Cake
- In a microwave-safe mug (about 12-16 oz capacity), whisk together 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined and there are no lumps.
- Add 3 tablespoons milk, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients in the mug. Stir thoroughly with a fork until the batter is smooth and all dry ingredients are incorporated, scraping down the sides as needed.
- If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips now, or press a few into the top of the batter.
- Place the mug in the microwave. Cook on high for 60-90 seconds. The cooking time will vary depending on your microwave's wattage; start with 60 seconds and add 10-15 second increments if it's still too wet in the center.
- The cake is done when it looks set on top and springs back lightly when touched, but may still be slightly gooey in the center (which is perfect for a mug cake!).
- Carefully remove the hot mug from the microwave. Allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
- Serve directly from the mug, optionally topped with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
