Description
This Chocolate Mug Cake is a quick, single-serve dessert that satisfies chocolate cravings in just minutes. Tender, rich, and fudgy, it’s made entirely in the microwave and ready in under 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup (43 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) buttermilk, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 egg, room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ounce (30 g) semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Stir in chopped chocolate.
- Divide batter evenly between two 10-ounce coffee mugs, filling no more than halfway.
- Microwave each mug individually on high for 90 seconds. If not set, microwave in 10-second intervals until fully cooked.
- Let cakes stand for 2 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Do not overfill the mugs; the cake rises during cooking.
- Microwave times vary—adjust as needed for your appliance.
- Serve warm for best texture and flavor.
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
