Chocolate Cake in a Mug

Updated: 25 Apr 2015

Quick and easy to make. Adding some squares of milk chocolate to the mug before microwaving makes for an extra tasty centre, or pile some strawberries on top of the finished cake for an extra decadent touch.

Ingredients

  • 5 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 5 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp. cocoa
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ to ½ tsp. baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tbsp. milk
  • 4 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • Dash of vanilla extract
  • 2 microwave-safe coffee mugs

Method

  1. Mix all the dry ingredients in a coffee mug.
  2. Beat the eggs slightly in a small mixing bowl and add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix well with a fork.
  3. Add in the dry mixture and mix well.
  4. Pour out half of the batter into each coffee mug.
  5. Microwave the coffee mugs, one at a time, half-filled with the batter, on high, for a minute and a half.
