Molten Chocolate Mug Cake

Moist chocolate cake with a warm molten center made right in a mug!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate¹ chopped
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour²
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ounce semisweet or bittersweet chocolate in 4 pieces
Instructions
- Microwave butter and chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl at 50% power³ until melted, about 1 minute.
- Stir in sugar, eggs, cocoa, vanilla, and salt.
- Add flour and baking powder, and whisk in.
- Divide the batter between 2 12-16 ounce⁴ microwave-safe mugs.
- Place mugs on microwave turntable.
- Microwave at 50% power for 45 seconds.
- Stir batter and microwave for another 45 seconds at 50% power.
- Press 2 pieces of chocolate into the center of each cake. No need to press down. They should sink in on their own.
- Microwave at 50% power for 60-90 seconds.
- Cake should pull away from the edge of the mug when done.
- Let sit 2 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Can substitute semisweet chocolate chocolate.
- It's important to properly measure the flour. Either weigh the flour, or sift or stir it, lightly spoon into measuring cup, and then level. Too much flour will give you a dry or dense cake.
- Microwaving at full powder will take less time. However, the chocolate will get absorbed into the cake, and you won't get a molten center.
- I like to use a 16-ounce mug because it allows more room for the cake to expand. A 12-ounce mug will work, but keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't spill over as it cooks.
- Microwave wattages vary, and cooking times will vary according to the wattage.
- Nutrition values are estimates.
