Description
This Chocolate Fudge Cake in a Mug is rich, moist, and perfectly fudgy. Made with cocoa powder, sugar, and milk, it’s an easy 5-minute microwave dessert that delivers deep chocolate flavor in every spoonful — no oven needed!
Ingredients
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon water
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Gather all ingredients in a microwave-safe mug.
2. Add flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.
3. Stir in milk, canola oil, water, and vanilla extract until smooth and lump-free.
4. Microwave for 1 minute 45 seconds, or until the top looks set and the cake is fluffy but still moist.
5. Let the cake cool for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm straight from the mug for the best fudgy texture.
Notes
• For a healthier version, use applesauce instead of oil and almond milk instead of regular milk.
• For extra richness, stir in a few chocolate chips before microwaving.
• Avoid overcooking — your mug cake should look slightly glossy when done.
• Add a scoop of ice cream or drizzle with chocolate syrup for an indulgent finish.
• This recipe is egg-free and ideal for single servings!
