I admit it. I’ve succumbed to mug cakes ever since I discovered them. The ease of making them and just how delicious they are makes them wonderful!
To make this I used:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup whole milk
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup self-rising flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, milk, egg and vanilla.
Add the flour, sugar, and cocoa and whisk to combine. Pour batter into the mugs over the chocolate chips. Microwave for 2 minutes. Check to see if the cakes are well cooked inside using a toothpick (if it comes out clean it’s ready). If not, microwave for an additional 30 seconds.
Ooooh, instant cake! A cooking time of only 2 seconds π

Gorgeous recipe, Micro! Mug cakes are awesome. I recently went on vacation and could not do my usual desert ritual of baking and eating an entire cake! π I was able, however, to resort to microwave mug cake versions of my recipes, and I felt right at home. Your version sounds delicious and then some. You have made me want to go eat some chocolate right now…

How many cakes does this recipe make? Do you use full power on the microwave? Do you put chocolate chips at the bottom of the cup? One layer of them?
Virtual hugs,

Hi Judie! This will make two servings! I used full/high power on the microwave. You can use chocolate chips, place them in the mug before you add the batter. π
