Chocolate Mug Cake

Craving some chocolate cake but don’t want the guilt of eating the whole thing? Try a Chocolate Mug Cake!

I finally got around to making one tonight for dessert and it’s super easy! You just whip up a few ingredients in a bowl and microwave it in a mug for a minute… and voilá you have instant chocolate cake! It’s quite delicious (especially when you add chocolate chips) and the only thing I would do next time is use a larger mug. I had no room for a dollop of ice cream. 😊

Ingredients

1/4 cup flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
Tiny pinch of salt
1/4 cup milk (any percent or almond milk)
2 tablespoons oil (canola, vegetable, or melted coconut oil will work)
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 tablespoon semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Mix it all in a bowl and whip it. Whip it good! LOL (I’m jolly full of chocolate!)
Microwave for 60-90 seconds. Microwave times will vary.
Let cool for several minutes and top with your choice of toppings!

For the real lazy, they sell mug cake packs at the grocery store. I always have a few on hand in the RV. Of course I can’t help myself so I have to add a handful of chocolate chips or walnuts.

Ok, I just copied it to use later for a special desert in about 10 days. I hope it is as good as you claim! #44 on the 24th for “She Who Must Be Obeyed” and me.

Wait…. WHAT!……I should feel guilty for eating the whole cake?

Fun! Happy early birthday to the Mrs.! I don’t have a picky side when it comes to food – particularly sweets. So hopefully she enjoys it. My cousin just sent me a bunch a different recipes to try besides chocolate. The Bailey’s Irish Cream Mug Cake sounds delicious!

Well depends on the size of the cake, really.

Oh. Well that makes sense. I guess whenever I think cake I think birthday. LOL

Personally, mug cake tastes great but doesn’t make much of a celebration statement. Think something cream filled from the grocery store bakery.

Ok now, Do Tell!

Yep married my High School Sweetheart in 1976. I’ve been look’in at her since I was 14. She didn’t know me till she was 15 and we had our first date early in the 10th grade 1970/71, I was 16.

Oh I love it, Denny! I’m happy to hear stories like this. Billy and I met when we were 16 and 17. 🥰

Let me look for the Bailey’s recipe!

Here ya go!

I would think this would be good with different kinds of liquor. Maybe some RumChata or Khalua!

Normally a pan, but if you’re make booze cake no less than a sheet for me.

Booze, cake, chocolate… sounds like fun to me! 😁👍
