Description
You’ll need three mugs or ramekins for this batch. The ingredients below are enough to make 3 individual servings.
Ingredients
-
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
-
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
-
½ teaspoon baking powder
-
Pinch of salt
-
6 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)
-
3 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Optional: 3 tablespoons chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or marshmallows
Notes
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Tip: If you’re making this directly in the mugs, divide the dry ingredients evenly into each mug.
Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients
Add milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mix. Stir well until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Optional: Fold in chocolate chips or other mix-ins.
Step 3: Microwave Time
Place the mugs in the microwave, one at a time. Microwave each for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave’s power.
The cake should rise but still look slightly moist in the center — that’s the fudgy magic.
Step 4: Cool & Enjoy
Let the cakes cool for 1–2 minutes (they’ll be hot!). Top with whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of caramel, or a sprinkle of sea salt for extra decadence.
