Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe
Description
The Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe mixes all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to create a smooth batter. Cooking the mixture in the microwave for 90 seconds yields a small, moist cake with a slightly dense texture. Mini semisweet chocolate chips added on top melt during microwaving, adding a gooey chocolate component to each bite.
This mug cake is ideal for a rapid dessert or snack without the need for an oven or large batch baking. It is best eaten shortly after cooking while warm and fresh. Leftovers, if any, can be saved for up to one day at room temperature covered tightly.

- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Notes
