Easy Microwave Chocolate Mug Cake is a quick dessert recipe that you can make in a microwave using a mug. It’s a single-serving cake that’s ready in just a few minutes. The ingredients typically include flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, milk, oil or butter, vanilla extract, and optionally chocolate chips. You mix the ingredients directly in a microwave-safe mug, then microwave it for a short time until it’s cooked through. It’s a popular choice for a quick sweet treat when you’re craving chocolate cake but don’t want to bake a full-sized cake.
