Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe (no egg)

You can make this easy chocolate mug cake recipe in just a few minutes! Just stir the ingredients together in a mug, pop it in the microwave, and enjoy!
Prep Time2 minutes
Cook Time3 minutes
Total Time5 minutes
Servings: 1 serving

Ingredients 

  • 4 tbsp self-rising flour
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 3 tbsp sunflower oil

Instructions

  • Place all your wet and dry ingredients in your microwavable mug and stir well. If you find it difficult to mix the bottom of the mug well, you can mix everything in a small bowl. Pour the batter into the mug.
  • Place the mug in the microwave for 140 seconds (2 minutes and 20 seconds) at 800 watts. The cooking time may vary due to the strength of your microwave.
  • Test your cake to see if it is done by piercing it with a cake tester or skewer; if the skewer comes out dry and clean, it is done.
  • Take your mug out of the microwave with an oven mitt, it's hot! And be careful not to burn your mouth 😉.
Tips
You can top your mug cake with a scoop of whipped cream or some red fruit, but it is also delicious on its own.
How to store
The mug cake is best when it comes out of the microwave and is still warm. As it cools, it dries out and is not nearly as tasty.
