Here’s an easy and quick 5-minute microwave chocolate cake recipe:
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 tsp baking powder (a pinch)
- A pinch of salt
- 3 tbsp milk (any type you prefer)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (optional, for extra gooeyness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mug: Use a large microwave-safe mug (at least 12 oz capacity) to avoid overflowing. Lightly grease the mug with a bit of oil or butter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In the mug, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to remove any lumps.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until you get a smooth batter, making sure there are no lumps.
- Add Chocolate Chips: If using, sprinkle the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate into the batter and gently mix them in.
- Microwave: Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave’s power. Start with 1 minute 30 seconds and check if it’s done; if not, microwave for 10–15 seconds more. The cake should rise and look set but moist on top.
- Cool and Serve: Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before enjoying. It can be enjoyed straight from the mug, or you can top it with whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
