Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or nondairy works)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 34 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Melt the Butter: Add the unsalted butter to an 8-ounce microwave-safe mug and microwave for about 30 seconds until it is mostly melted.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and most of the chocolate chips until the batter is smooth and uniform.
  4. Top with Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top of the batter for extra chocolatey goodness.
  5. Microwave to Cook: Microwave the mug cake on high for 1 minute and 25 seconds. Cooking time may vary based on your microwave’s wattage.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the mug cake cool for about 5 minutes before enjoying. For an indulgent treat, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • You can use 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) of flour for a firmer texture, or reduce to 3 tablespoons for a moister and slightly smaller cake.
  • Microwave power varies greatly; start with 60-70 seconds at 100% power on your first try to avoid overcooking.
  • The cake will puff up and look dry when done — this is normal.
  • For best results, allow the mug cake to cool before eating to let the flavors meld and the texture set.
