Chocolate Mug Cake

Rich, fudgy chocolate mug cakes made in minutes with simple pantry staples and melty vegan chocolate chips.

5 min

Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 8 tbsp Cocoa Powder
  • 8 tbsp White Sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 cup Oat Milk
  • 4 tbsp Canola Oil
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 4 tbsp Vegan Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. In each of four 10–12 oz microwave-safe mugs, whisk together ¼ cup flour, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 2 tbsp sugar, and ¼ tsp baking powder. Season each with a small pinch of salt.
  2. Stir ¼ cup oat milk, 1 tbsp canola oil, and ½ tsp vanilla extract into each mug. Mix until just combined — do not overmix.
  3. Stir 1 tbsp vegan chocolate chips into each mug, then sprinkle a few extra on top for extra gooeyness.
  4. Microwave each mug individually on high for 1 minute 15 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds, until the top looks mostly set but still slightly moist. Start checking at the 1-minute mark — slightly undercooked is better than overcooked.
  5. Let each mug cake cool for 1–2 minutes before serving.
