This Chocolate Chip Mug Cake is a quick and easy single-serving dessert prepared in minutes using a microwave. It features a moist, fluffy cake base with deliciously melty semisweet chocolate chips throughout, perfect for satisfying chocolate cravings with minimal effort and ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp low fat milk
  • 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil

Add-ins

  • 2 tbsp semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Combine all ingredients except the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe 8 oz mug. Use a small, sturdy whisk to mix until a smooth batter forms with no lumps. The batter should fit just to the top of the mug when cooked.
  2. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir half of the semisweet chocolate chips into the batter and sprinkle the remaining chips over the surface for a gooey topping.
  3. Microwave Cooking: Cook the mug cake in the microwave on high for about 1 minute. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on microwave wattage.
  4. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool for a few minutes before eating to allow it to set and to avoid burning your mouth from the hot chocolate and cake.

Notes

  • Use a microwave-safe mug about 8 oz in size to prevent overflow and ensure proper cooking.
  • You can substitute brown sugar with white sugar if preferred, but brown sugar adds moisture and caramel flavor.
  • Adjust microwave time slightly if your appliance has higher or lower wattage.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or soy milk and use a suitable oil.
  • The cake is best enjoyed immediately after cooling as it tends to dry out if left too long.
