Craving something sweet but short on time? This **Chocolate Single Serve Cake (Eggless, Microwave)** is the perfect solution for a quick, indulgent dessert that's ready in under 5 minutes! Made with simple pantry ingredients like cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and a splash of vanilla, this rich and fudgy mug cake requires no eggs and can be customized with your choice of dairy or plant-based milk. Microwave magic takes just 90 seconds to transform the batter into a warm, gooey treat that's ideal for satisfying late-night cravings or a solo dessert indulgence. Add a handful of chocolate chips for an extra decadent touch, and enjoy this no-fuss, single-serve delight straight from the mug!
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure there are no clumps.
Add the wet ingredients to the mug: milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
Stir the mixture well until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
Optional: Fold in the chocolate chips or sprinkle them on top for an extra chocolatey treat.
Microwave the mug on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Start with 1 minute and 30 seconds, and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Allow the cake to cool for 1-2 minutes before serving as it will be very hot. Enjoy directly from the mug or transfer to a plate.
