Craving something sweet and quick? This rich, gooey chocolate mug cake is your new go-to! Made in minutes using simple pantry ingredients, it’s the ultimate no-fuss treat when you’re short on time but big on chocolate cravings. Perfect for late-night indulgence, date-night dessert, or a cozy solo treat — all ready in one mug!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1/4 tsp baking powder

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter

  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 tbsp chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended)

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  2. Add milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir until smooth — no dry lumps!

  3. Fold in chocolate chips for melty, gooey goodness.

  4. Microwave on high for 60–75 seconds. It should rise and look set but still soft in the center.

  5. Let cool for 1–2 minutes before topping with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or ice cream.

  6. Grab a spoon and enjoy your cozy chocolate mug cake!

Notes

  • Microwave power varies — start with 60 seconds and add 10-second bursts if needed.

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of instant coffee or a spoon of Nutella in the center before microwaving.

  • Best eaten warm, right out of the mug!
