This hot chocolate mug cake is a quick and easy dessert made in the microwave. It combines rich cocoa flavor with a soft, fluffy texture, and is perfect for satisfying a chocolate craving in minutes.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon mini marshmallows (optional)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds, or until the cake has risen and is set but still slightly gooey in the center.
- If using, sprinkle the mini marshmallows on top and microwave for an additional 10 seconds to melt them slightly.
- Let cool for a minute before enjoying directly from the mug.
Notes
- Be careful not to overcook, as the cake can become dry quickly in the microwave.
- Add a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream on top for an indulgent treat.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with chopped chocolate or omit for a lighter version.
