1 Easy Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe

Today, I’m sharing my easy chocolate mug cake recipe. Almost everyone knows that I’m a self confessed chocoholic. My husband swears I only get through some days because of the thought of my evening treat! I’m pretty impatient too, so when I found a chocolate microwave mug cake recipe, I couldn’t wait to try it!

I’ve been making this mug cake recipe for well over a year now, and have tweaked it slightly over time, to make it even more delicious. This easy chocolate mug cake recipe reminds me of the steamed chocolate cake you used to get for pudding in school, in the 1980’s and 90’s – except with a chocolatey core, if you want one. So if you’re a fan of delicious, rich, chocolate cake, this is the recipe for you.

Easy Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe

Here’s a video showing how it’s made, when you follow my easy chocolate mug cake recipe. I’ve also popped a written breakdown below the video…

Equipment:

To make this easy chocolate mug cake recipe, you will need:

• Large, microwaveable Mug (I use one which holds 500ml).
• 1x Table Spoon
• 1x Fork

Easy Chocolate Mug Cake Ingredients: 

Before making this easy chocolate mug cake recipe, check you have all of these ingredients…

• 4x Tablespoons Self Raising Flour
• 4x Tablespoons Caster Sugar
• 2x Tablespoons Cocoa
• 3x Tablespoons Milk
• 3x Tablespoons Oil (I use Sunflower oil)
• 1x Dash Vanilla Essence
• 1x Medium Egg

Method: 

Wash your hands, put on your apron and get stuck in… This is what you’ll need to do, to create this delicious dessert.

• Measure all of the dry ingredients into the large mug.
• Add the wet ingredients.
• Mix together with a fork until fully blended – make sure you scrape the bottom of the cup well, so the ingredients aren’t stuck there. (It should look like this)…

• Put the cup in the microwave on high. (The below times are based on 800w Microwave, so adjust as per your own microwave’s power).
• Zap for 1 Minute 45 Seconds for a runny, chocolate core centre, or for 2 minutes if you prefer a solid chocolate sponge cake.
• Carefully remove the mug cake from the microwave. Either eat straight from the cup, or turn it out onto a plate and smother it with custard, ice cream or cream – EPIC!

This easy chocolate mug cake recipe makes enough for two people, if you add a dollop of ice cream or some custard to your bowls. I tend to make it for just myself, and eat it without adding custard – the chocolate core means it’s not dry.
