Ah, a 5-minute dessert that’s quick, easy, and endlessly delicious? I’ve got you covered! Here’s a super simple recipe anyone can make:
5-Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
Ingredients (Serves 1)
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- Optional: a few chocolate chips or a dash of vanilla
How to Make It
- Mix dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa) in a microwave-safe mug.
- Add wet ingredients (milk, oil, vanilla) and stir until smooth.
- Microwave for 60–90 seconds on high (watch carefully—it can overflow if too long).
- Let it cool for 1–2 minutes. Optional: top with chocolate chips, whipped cream, or ice cream.
Tips for the Perfect Mug Cake
- Don’t overcook—cake should be soft and slightly gooey
- Use a large mug to prevent spilling
- You can mix in nuts, berries, or peanut butter for variety
💡 Why I Never Get Tired of It
- Takes 5 minutes total
- No oven needed
- Flexible—change toppings or flavors anytime
- Perfect for a quick sweet fix without extra cleanup
If you want, I can also give 3 more 5-minute desserts that are even easier than the mug cake—one is fruity, one creamy, and one chocolatey.
Do you want me to do that?
