🥛 Ingredients Notes
This mug cake recipe is just what you need 8 ingredientsHere’s what you’ll need:
- All-purpose flour – Although I haven’t tried it yet, I believe it should work with 1:1 gluten-free flour as well.
- sugar – I used granulated sugar, but you can use light brown sugar or even coconut sugar. Vanilla sugar is a great substitute for extra vanilla flavor!
- Cocoa powder – Use unsweetened cocoa powder. Both natural and Dutch-processed cocoa powder will work.
- Almond milk – or your favorite plant-based milk.
- the oil – Oil cake brings prosperity. Use a neutral oil like canola, grape seed or avocado oil.
- Vanilla extract – Use high-quality store-bought vanilla extract, or homemade vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
- salt – A pinch of salt always makes a chocolate dessert taste better.
- Baking powder – To help the mug cake rise.
🍫 How to make Chocolate Mug Cake
- Whisk together the dry ingredients In a small bowl.
- Slowly pour the liquid ingredients and stir until smooth. You can use a small whisk or fork for this step.
- Pour the batter into a microwave-safe cup. You want to use a mug that is tall enough that the cake will rise while microwaving. The batter should fill the mug about halfway.
- Microwave for about 1 minute 30 seconds. The time will depend on the wattage of your microwave. Keep an eye on it and remove it from the microwave once it has set on top of the cake.
- Add your favorite toppings! While this chocolate cake is delicious on its own, it gets even better with additional toppings like chocolate chips, coconut whipping cream, vegan ice cream, etc.
- Enjoy warm! Let the cake cool for 2-5 minutes before digging into it!
📔 Tips
- Adjust the cooking time. All microwaves are different, so you may need to adjust the time. I personally cook mine on high for 1 minute 30 seconds, but if your microwave is more powerful you may need to reduce the time to 1 minute. The top of your mug cake should be just set.
- For a more decadent mug cake: Roll in a tablespoon of vegan Nutella before microwaving.
- You can easily double the recipe And if you want to share it, divide it between two mugs.
