Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons natural cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • a pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons plant-based milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, mix the all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly blended.
  2. Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour in the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and apple cider vinegar. Stir thoroughly until you achieve a smooth batter without lumps.
  3. Microwave the Mug Cake: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  4. Let It Cool Slightly: Allow the cake to rest for a minute or two to firm up slightly as it will be piping hot straight from the microwave.
  5. Enjoy! Scoop into your spoon and indulge in the warm, rich Chocolate Mug Cake right away or add your favorite toppings before digging in.

Notes

  • Use fresh baking powder for the best rise and fluffy texture.
  • Fill your mug only halfway or less to prevent spillage during cooking.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your microwave’s wattage; watch closely the first time you make it.
  • Stir until smooth to avoid dry patches and ensure even flavor distribution.
  • The size and shape of your mug affect cooking time, so experiment to find what works best.
