🍫 5-Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
Ingredients (for 1 serving)
-
4 tbsp all-purpose flour
-
4 tbsp sugar
-
2 tbsp cocoa powder
-
3 tbsp milk
-
2 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter)
-
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
-
Optional: chocolate chips, nuts, or a drizzle of caramel
Instructions
-
Mix dry ingredients in a microwave-safe mug: flour, sugar, cocoa, and salt.
-
Add wet ingredients: milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
-
Optional add-ins: fold in a few chocolate chips or nuts.
-
Microwave: cook on high for 60–90 seconds (start checking at 60). Cake should rise and look set but moist.
-
Serve: eat straight from the mug or tip onto a plate. Top with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Tip
Be careful not to overcook, or it becomes rubbery. 60–70 seconds is usually perfect for one mug.
