Chocolate Mug Cake

Byzitouni

🛒 What You’ll Need

  • 4 tbsp All-purpose flour 🥯
  • 2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫
  • 2 tbsp Sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference!) 🍬
  • ¼ tsp Baking powder 🥄
  • 3 tbsp Milk (dairy or plant-based!) 🥛
  • 2 tbsp Melted butter or oil 🧈
  • ¼ tsp Vanilla extract 🍦
  • Optional: A handful of chocolate chips for a gooey, molten center! 🍫🤤

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Grab Your Mug: Choose a microwave-safe mug. For that “overflowing” gourmet look seen in the photo, use a slightly smaller mug! ☕️📐✨
  2. Mix the Dry: Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder directly in the mug until no lumps remain. 🥣🌪️💎
  3. Add the Wet: Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and velvety. 🥛🧈🤝
  4. The Gooey Secret: If you’re using chocolate chips, drop them right into the center of the batter! 🍫🎯✨
  5. Zap It: Microwave on high for 70–90 seconds. Watch it closely—it will rise high and might even spill over beautifully like the ones in the photo! ⏲️📈🙌
  6. The Set: Let the cake rest for 1 minute after cooking. It will finish setting and become perfectly light and airy. ⏲️🌬️💎
  7. Serve: Enjoy it warm directly from the mug, or top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! 🍨😋🧤✨

🔥 Pro Tips:

  • The “Lava” Secret: For a super fudgy interior, stop the microwave when the top still looks just a tiny bit shiny—don’t overcook it! 🌡️🛡️💎
  • The “Gourmet” Hack: As seen in the photo, placing several mugs on a baking sheet is a fun way to serve these to guests for a “Mug Cake Party”! 🍪🎨🎯
