Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons natural cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons natural sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons plant-based milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Start by measuring all dry and wet ingredients carefully. Having everything ready makes the quick process smooth and enjoyable.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar until well blended with no lumps.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) to the mug. Stir thoroughly until you get a smooth batter with no dry pockets.
- Microwave and Watch: Place your mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 90 seconds. The cake should rise and feel springy to the touch but not wet. Adjust time as microwaves vary.
- Cool Slightly and Enjoy: Let your Chocolate Mug Cake cool for a minute or two before eating to avoid burning your mouth and to let flavors settle beautifully.
Notes
- Use fresh baking powder for the best rise and fluffiness.
- Do not overcook; microwaving too long can dry the cake. Start with 90 seconds and adjust if needed.
- Mix thoroughly to achieve a smooth batter that rises evenly without dense spots.
- Use a microwave-safe mug with enough room for the cake to expand.
- Optional: Add plant-based chocolate chips for melty pockets of chocolate.
