Description
A rich, fluffy, eggless single-serve chocolate cake mixed in one mug and cooked in the microwave in about a minute, with melty chocolate chips.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons (24 g) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon (5 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons (45 ml) milk
1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
Instructions
1. In a microwave-safe mug of at least 12 ounces (350 ml), stir together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir until a smooth batter forms with no dry pockets at the bottom or in the corners. If the batter looks too thick, add a splash more milk.
3. Stir in most of the chocolate chips and sprinkle the rest on top.
4. Microwave on high for about 60 to 75 seconds, until the cake is risen and the top looks set but still soft. Microwaves vary, so start with less time and add 10 seconds at a time if needed.
5. Let the cake rest for 1 minute, since it keeps cooking as it cools. Enjoy straight from the mug, warm.
Notes
Based on the 1-Minute Mug Cake (No Egg) published by Preppy Kitchen (an eggless chocolate mug cake cooked in the microwave in about a minute, with 2 tablespoons of semi-sweet chocolate chips), with the general approach and timing guidance from other published 1-minute chocolate mug cake recipes. The exact flour, cocoa, sugar, milk, oil, and vanilla quantities and the microwave time are estimates based on typical mug cake ratios, because the full quantities were not available to us. Microwave power varies, so the cooking time may need adjusting. The recipe has not been tested.
Use a large mug, at least 12 ounces, so the cake has room to rise.
Do not overcook, or the cake turns dry and rubbery.
