Microwave Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug (about 12 oz size), combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir well with a fork or small whisk to ensure there are no lumps.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and well combined. If you want to add chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in at this stage.
- Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave, so keep an eye on it. The cake should rise and look set in the middle.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before eating. Be careful, as it will be hot! You can enjoy it straight from the mug or transfer it to a plate. For an extra treat, top with whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Tips:
- Make sure to use a large enough mug to prevent overflow while cooking.
- You can customize your mug cake by adding different flavors like peanut butter, caramel, or even sprinkles!
Enjoy your delicious and easy microwave chocolate mug cake!
