Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons non-dairy milk (almond, oat, soy, etc.)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder. Stir these dry ingredients well to evenly distribute the cocoa and baking powder for a consistent rise and chocolate flavor.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the non-dairy milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth batter with no dry clumps—this ensures a moist and tender cake.
  3. Microwave Your Cake: Cook the mug cake in the microwave on high for about 60 to 90 seconds. Keep an eye on the cake to prevent overcooking, which can dry it out. The cake should look set but still soft to the touch.
  4. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cake to cool for a couple of minutes before digging in. This resting time lets the cake finish setting and enhances the overall texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh baking powder to get an airy, fluffy cake every time.
  • Don’t overcook; microwave times vary, so start with less time and add more if needed to avoid dryness.
  • Stir gently; overmixing can make the batter dense, so just blend until combined.
  • Try different non-dairy milks such as almond, oat, or soy milk to subtly change flavor profiles.
  • Use a larger microwave-safe mug to avoid spills as the cake rises during cooking.
