Dry Ingredients
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, vanilla extract, and the egg to the dry mixture in the mug. Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
- Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage. The cake should rise and be set but still moist.
- Cool Slightly and Serve: Allow the mug cake to cool for a minute or two before eating, as it will be very hot. Enjoy it directly from the mug or tip it out onto a plate if desired.
Notes
- Cooking time may vary by microwave power; adjust accordingly to avoid overcooking.
- Use a large enough mug to prevent overflow during cooking.
- For a richer taste, use melted butter instead of vegetable oil.
- You can add chocolate chips or nuts for extra texture and flavor.
- This recipe serves one and is perfect for a quick dessert craving.
