Want something sweet but can't face baking a whole cake? This single-serving chocolate mug cake takes five minutes from counter to table, no mixer and no oven. You stir everything in the mug, microwave it, and you have a warm dessert.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1½ tablespoons cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons milk or plant-based milk
- 1½ tablespoons oil
- 2 squares dark chocolate
- Pinch of salt
Directions
Take a large microwave-safe mug and add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
Pour in the milk and oil and stir well until the batter is smooth.
Press the two chocolate squares into the center of the batter, pushing them down slightly.
Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds, depending on your microwave's power, until the cake is set but still soft in the middle.
Remove carefully, wait one minute, and serve.
