Print Recipe

A fast and easy single-serving chocolate chip mug cake made in the microwave, perfect for satisfying late-night cravings with minimal effort and simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour (about 30g)
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons milk (45ml), whole or any milk substitute like almond or oat milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (30ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (about 30g), semi-sweet or milk chocolate

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients and measure everything out.
  2. In your microwave-safe mug, combine 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons white sugar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well.
  3. Add 3 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mug. Mix thoroughly until smooth without lumps.
  4. Fold in 2 tablespoons chocolate chips, stirring gently to distribute evenly.
  5. Microwave on high for 70 to 90 seconds, starting with 70 seconds and adding 10-second bursts if needed, until the cake rises and looks set but moist on top.
  6. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick or fork; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes before eating.

Notes

Use a larger mug to prevent overflow and do not fill more than halfway with batter. Adjust microwave time based on your microwave’s power. For a gooey center, cook less; for a more cake-like texture, cook longer. Let the cake rest for a minute after cooking. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and neutral oil. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour but expect a denser texture.
