Instructions
- Grease your microwaveable mug with cooking oil, alternatively, you can spray it with oil.
- Sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder directly into the mug. Add in the rest of the ingredients – granulated white sugar, oil, vanilla extract, and milk.
- Whisk everything until smooth. Sprinkle a few choco chips on tip, this step is optional, but I highly recommend you don’t skip it.Note: if the cake mix is too thick add an extra teaspoon of milk to adjust the consistency to make it into a smooth mix.
- Cook in the microwave for about a minute.
- Keep a close eye on the mug cake. Test it after it’s cooked in the microwave for 60 seconds. If the toothpick tester comes out dry, remove the mug from the microwave. If the toothpick tester comes out wet with cake batter stuck to it, place it back into the microwave cook for an additional 10 to 15 seconds, and test again.
- Let it rest on the counter for a few seconds. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, hot fudge sauce, and caramel syrup drizzled on top.
Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Measure all ingredients accurately.
- Use the best quality fresh ingredients. Use good quality unsweetened cocoa powder, whole milk, and pure vanilla extract.
- Don’t skip greasing the mug (brush/spray with oil). This prevents the cake from sticking to the mug.
- White granulated sugar gives a better texture. Do not use powdered or caster sugar in place of granulated white sugar.
- Flavorless oils work best. Vegetable oil canola oil or melted butter for a richer taste can be used. Olive oil or other strong flavored oil should be avoided.
- Use whole milk as it gives a richer taste to the cake.
- Every microwave is different. Depending on your microwave you may have to adjust the cooking time. Start with 60 seconds and if the center is still sticky, place it back into the microwave and cook for an additional 10 to 15 seconds. Stop cooking and remove the mug from the microwave as soon as the toothpick inserted at the center of the cake comes out clean.
