Make a rich, single-serving chocolate cake in your microwave in under three minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 Tablespoons milk
  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug (about 10-12 oz), whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  2. Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix well with a fork until the batter is smooth and no dry pockets remain. Do not overmix.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using.
  5. Place the mug in the microwave. Cook on high power for 60 to 90 seconds. Cooking time varies by microwave wattage. Start checking at 60 seconds.
  6. The cake is done when the top looks set but the center is still slightly soft.
  7. Let cool for one minute before eating directly from the mug.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute milk with coffee.
  • If your cake seems dry, reduce the cooking time by 10 seconds next time.
  • Add a spoonful of peanut butter to the center of the batter before microwaving for a molten center.
