This mug cake microwave is a quick and easy way to satisfy your sweet cravings in just a few minutes. With simple ingredients and minimal prep time, you can enjoy a warm, gooey dessert anytime!
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons sugar adjust to taste
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder to give it that perfect rise
- Pinch of salt to balance the sweetness
- 3 tablespoons milk any kind you prefer
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract for that lovely warm flavor
Optional for extra flavor:
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips if you're a chocolate lover
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, add the 4 tablespoons of flour, 4 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1/8 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Use a fork or small whisk to mix everything together until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the 3 tablespoons of milk, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil (or melted butter), and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Optional Add-ins: If you’re feeling extra indulgent, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips into the batter and give it a gentle mix. This will make your cake extra gooey and delicious.
- Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Keep an eye on it as it cooks—it should rise nicely and puff up, but stay moist. If it’s not quite done, add 10-15 seconds at a time.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before digging in. Be careful, the cake will be hot! Serve as is or top with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries for an extra treat.
