Dessert

Steps

In a microwave-safe mug, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
Stir in chocolate chips if desired.
Microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds, or until the cake has risen and is set in the middle.
Let it cool for a minute before enjoying your delicious mug cake.

Tips for Decadent Chocolate Mug Cake

Choose a mug with plenty of headroom; the batter rises and can spill from a small cup.
A few moist crumbs on a tester indicate a tender cake; cooking until completely dry can make it rubbery.
Let it stand briefly before eating, since the center and mug stay very hot even after the surface looks cool.

Drink pairing

A cup of black coffee
Its roasted bitterness balances the cake’s rich chocolate and sweetness.

0% option: A cup of unsweetened black tea

Storage

This single-serving cake is best eaten fresh. If you have leftovers, cover and refrigerate within 2 hours; keep for 3–4 days and reheat until steaming hot.
