Easy 5-Minute Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe (Eggless)
This single-serving chocolate mug cake is moist, eggless, quick and easy to make, and so delicious! This is my absolute favourite chocolate mug cake recipe ever. Pop it in a microwave, and it'll be ready in less than 5 minutes!
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose / plain flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- In a large microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until combined.
- Add in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir just until combined and no streaks of flour remain.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of the chocolate chips (if using) into the batter. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
- Microwave for 1 minute or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the mug cake comes out clean. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Butter and Substitutes: You can use salted butter in this recipe and omit the salt. Alternatively, you can substitute the butter for a flavorless oil (such as sunflower, canola, or grapeseed oil) without changing the measurements. I do not recommend using strong-tasting oils (such as olive or peanut oils) as it will compromise the overall flavor of this chocolate mug cake.
- Chocolate Chips: I love using dark chocolate chips for this recipe! Feel free to add more chocolate chips if desired.
- Add-ins: I love adding a good dollop of Nutella into the center of the batter before popping it into the microwave - It's the absolute yummiest. You can also add in peanut butter, cookie butter, almond butter, white chocolate chips etc.
