2 Minutes Microwave Chocolate Mug Cake

Hellooo everyone and welcome back!! I hope you’re all doing well! Today we are making “2 Minutes Microwave Chocolate Mug Cake”. Look how fluffy that cake is! 

This chocolate mug cake recipe has no eggs, very moist and chocolaty… it is one of the easiest dessert recipes you’ll ever make and you’ll never make another mug cake again after you try my recipe! 🙂

When you get that late night craving? Or want a small batch dessert (and not whip out a giant baking pan to make brownies to nip that craving)? This chocolate mug cake IS FOR YOU!!

Speaking of the mug: the batter will rise quite a bit so you want to have a decent amount of space left in the mug or else the batter will spill over the sides. I tested this with quite a few different mugs and discovered that you want at least 1 inch between the batter and the top of the mug. Enjoy!!!

2 MINUTES MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
Yield: 1 cup mug cake (7 Oz.)
Active time: 1 minute
Total time: 2 minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking powder
  • A pinch of Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Chocolate chips (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Prepare your favorite mug and measuring spoon (I use 8.5 Oz. coffee mug in the recipe).
  2. In your mug, stir together the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt). Make sure there are no clumps.
  3. Then add in the vegetable oil and milk, mix until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Drop a tablespoon of chocolate chips.
  5. Microwave on high (1000 watt) for one minute.

NOTES

  • Microwave power varies slightly, so you may want to experiment with the cooking time, give or take 5-10 seconds. One minute is a good place to start.
  • If you feel that chocolate chips is kinda boring, there are also a lot of variations for the fillings combination. Instead of chocolate chips, you can drop a tablespoon of peanut butter, nuttela, jam, or caramel sauce into the center and push it down into the batter, then microwave it.
