Cake in 5 Minutes

Posted on August 1, 2024

Here’s a quick and easy cake recipe you can make in just 5 minutes using a microwave!

Microwave Mug Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
  3. Optional Add-In: If desired, stir in the chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey treat.
  4. Microwave: Microwave the mug cake on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The cake should rise and be set in the middle. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave, so start with 1 minute and 30 seconds and add additional time if needed.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cake to cool for a couple of minutes before enjoying. You can eat it straight from the mug or turn it out onto a plate.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use a microwave-safe mug.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cake, as it can become dry.
  • You can top your mug cake with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.

Enjoy your quick and easy microwave mug cake!
