You’re only five minutes away from a mugful of hot and delicious chocolate cake with this easy microwave recipe. Undercook it a bit for a chocolate lava cake if you like. Serve warm with a nice scoop of ice cream and plenty of whipped cream!
Ready in: 5 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 1

• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation method

Prep: 2 mins | Cook: 3 mins

1. Stir together the flour, sugar, and cocoa powder until evenly blended, then set aside. Beat the egg in a small bowl, then whisk in the milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture until just incorporated and only small lumps remain. Pour into a microwave-safe mug.
2. Cook in the microwave until cooked through. This will take about 3 to 4 minutes depending on your microwave. The cake will rise up as it cooks, but shouldn’t overflow unless your cup is very small.
3. If you like a liquid center, or molten chocolate cake, try microwaving it a little less.
