Fudgy Vegan Chocolate Mug Cake
Rich, moist, and fudgy chocolate mug cake! Prepared in just 5 minutes in the microwave, this vegan mug cake is definitely one of the easiest desserts! Decadent and SO chocolatey!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 and 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp mini chocolate chips optional, for topping
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cacao powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour in the liquid ingredients: almond milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk using a small whisk or fork until the batter is smooth and has no more clumps.
- Transfer the batter to a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds or until the top is set. Note: you might have to adjust the cooking time depending on the wattage of your microwave. See the notes below.
- Top with chocolate chips and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before enjoying!
Notes
- Adjust the cooking time. All microwaves are different, so you may have to adjust the time. I personally cooked mine on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds, but you might have to reduce the time to 1 minute if your microwave is more powerful. The top of your mug cake should appear just set.
- For an even more decadent mug cake: swirl in a tablespoon of vegan Nutella before microwaving.
- You can easily double the recipe and divide it between two mugs if you want to share it.
