Chocolate Mug Cake
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch baking soda
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise (good quality like Hellman’s)
- 3 Tbsp whole milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients in a mug: Whisk flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda in a medium microwave safe ceramic mug (at least 11 oz.).
- Add wet ingredients: Add in milk, vanilla and mayonnaise.
- Blend, add chocolate chips: Stir well with a fork to combine, while scraping along bottom and edges (especially bottom edges if it’s not rounded). Sprinkle over chocolate chips.
- Cook though in microwave: heat mixture in microwave on high power until just barely cooked through in the center, about 1 minute to 1 1/2 minutes. Let it cool for a minute or two it will be hot.
- Optionally top: if desired served topped with vanilla or chocolate ice cream, or with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.
Notes
- No greasing mug necessary. It’s going to stick either way so just soak in water after finishing for easier clean up.
- Be careful not to over-cook or mug cake will end up dry.
- Enjoy within about 10 minutes of making for best texture.
