Description
A fluffy and easy chocolate mug cake that can be made in approximately 5 minutes, without the help of an egg. All you need are the ingredients, a mug, and a microwave. Top with whatever you’d like!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup flour (all-purpose, oat, buckwheat, 1:1 GF, whole wheat)
- 1 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2/3 – 1 tbsp oil
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1–2 tbsp chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a mug, mix together the dry (cocoa, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder).
- Then, mix in the wet (oil, milk, vanilla, chocolate chips).
- Top with more chocolate chips if you want, and cook in microwave for around 1 minute. This time depends on your microwave. I would recommend cooking in 20 second intervals after the minute until the cake is cooked through.
- Let cool, and top with nuts, vanilla ice cream, frosting, whipped cream, homemade nut butter, or whatever you’d like!
Notes
*Results will vary depending on which type of flour you use. For the fluffiest/lightest mug cake, use all-purpose. If you would like to use almond flour, I recommend using less milk and oil.
