Ah, now we’re talking! 😄 Here’s a super quick, 5-minute homemade dessert that’s easy, indulgent, and endlessly satisfying—perfect for when you want something sweet without a lot of prep.
5-Minute Mug Chocolate Lava Cake
Ingredients (serves 1)
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips or a small piece of chocolate
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Add milk, oil, and vanilla, and stir until smooth.
- Drop in the chocolate chips (they’ll melt and create the “lava” effect).
- Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds (watch carefully; don’t overcook).
- Let it cool for 1–2 minutes, then dig in with a spoon! 🍫
Optional Extras
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar or cocoa.
- Add a scoop of ice cream on top for extra indulgence.
- Mix in berries or nuts for texture.
💡 Why it’s so addictive:
- You get warm, gooey chocolate in just minutes.
- Only one mug to clean.
- Endless variations—you can swap cocoa for peanut butter, Nutella, or white chocolate.
If you want, I can give you 3 more insanely quick desserts under 5 minutes that are just as satisfying but don’t use chocolate—think fruity, creamy, or caramel-style treats.
