Here’s a super quick, 5-minute homemade dessert that’s easy, delicious, and doesn’t require an oven. 🍫🍓
🍮 5-Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
🧾 Ingredients (1 serving)
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: chocolate chips, berries, or a dollop of peanut butter
👩🍳 Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients in a microwave-safe mug: flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, salt.
- Add wet ingredients: milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
- Optional mix-ins: sprinkle chocolate chips or berries on top.
- Microwave on high for 70–90 seconds.
- Watch carefully: don’t overcook! The cake should be soft and moist.
- Cool slightly (1–2 minutes) and enjoy straight from the mug.
🍨 Tips & Variations
- Peanut butter swirl: Add a teaspoon of peanut butter before microwaving.
- Ice cream topper: Add a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat.
- Banana chocolate: Mash half a banana into the batter for natural sweetness.
💡 Pro tip: Mug cakes are best eaten immediately—they get dense as they cool, but still tasty!
