Ideal for gluten-free diets, this recipe prioritizes simplicity and speed, with only five minutes of prep time. Whether enjoyed as a late-night treat or a quick dessert fix, this mug cake recipe guarantees moist, chocolatey perfection straight from your microwave.
In a standard-sized microwave-safe mug, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well with a fork or spoon until all dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mix in the mug. Stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Fold the chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Begin checking for doneness at the 1 minute and 30 seconds mark.
The cake is done when it has risen well and the center is set, but still moist. Be careful not to overcook as the cake will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the microwave.
Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before enjoying straight from the mug!
