This easy Chocolate Chip Mug Cake is a 10-minute (or less), single-serve dessert made in the microwave with pantry staples. Customize with chocolate chips or other flavored chips or candy pieces.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
- Spray the inside of a small microwave-safe coffee mug with baking spray.
- Add flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into the mug. Stir together, until combined.
- Pour in milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until batter is well combined, scraping the bottom of the mug. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Microwave on high for 70 seconds, until cake is set. Avoid overbaking to keep the cake moist.
- Let rest for 1 minute and dig in!
Notes
- Make this a dairy-free dessert by swapping milk for a milk alternative and using vegan chocolate chips.
- Mix and match the stir-ins. Use butterscotch chips, seasonal baking chips, or crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs for a seasonal twist.
- Test the doneness by pushing your finger into the top of the mug cake. It should bounce back like a sponge when done. Microwave wattage varies, so be sure to test it after 60 to 70 seconds.
