A fast and easy microwave mug cake recipe that delivers a moist, fluffy chocolate dessert in under 5 minutes, perfect for quick sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons (30g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (5g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) milk (whole or 2%, or dairy-free almond/oat milk)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Measure out 4 tablespoons (30g) all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons (25g) sugar, 1 tablespoon (5g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt directly into your microwave-safe mug.
  2. Use a spoon or small whisk to blend the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Pour in 3 tablespoons (45ml) milk, 1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until you get a smooth batter with no lumps.
  4. Optional: Sprinkle a tablespoon of chocolate chips or add a spoonful of peanut butter on top of the batter and gently press them in.
  5. Place the mug in your microwave and cook on high for 70-90 seconds. Start with 70 seconds and add 10-second increments if needed.
  6. Insert a toothpick or clean knife into the center—if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it’s ready.
  7. Let the mug cake sit for about 2 minutes before eating to allow the texture to settle.

Notes

Do not overcook to avoid rubbery texture. Stir well before microwaving to avoid flour pockets. Adjust microwave time based on wattage. Let the cake rest for 2 minutes after cooking for best texture.
