A quick and easy single-serving mug cake that offers a chewy texture, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings in minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Add the milk, canola oil, water, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute and 45 seconds, or until the cake has risen and is firm to the touch. Be cautious not to overcook, as this can lead to a rubbery texture.
- Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot) and let it sit for a minute before enjoying.
Notes
- For added richness, consider mixing in a tablespoon of chocolate chips before microwaving.
- To reduce fat content, you can substitute the canola oil with 1.5 tablespoons of unsweetened applesauce.
- Microwave wattages vary; if the cake is not done after the initial cooking time, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals until done.
