Summary
An easy recipe for 1 serving. It takes about 5 minutes to make. Each serving has about 652 kcal. It is vegetarian.
A single-serving chocolate cake made in a mug in the microwave: mix it with a fork and it is ready in just over a minute, soft and with a molten chocolate centre.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Wheat flour (level (about 30 g))
- 4 tablespoons Milk
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 tablespoons Sugar (level)
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 2 tablespoons Sunflower Oil (or melted butter)
- 15 g Dark Chocolate (in squares or chunks) (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder (unsweetened)
Instructions
In a large microwave-safe mug, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt with a fork, breaking up any lumps of cocoa.
1 min
Add the milk and oil and beat with the fork, scraping the bottom and edges of the mug well, until the batter is smooth with no dry flour left.
1 min
Push the chocolate into the middle of the batter, without letting it reach the bottom.
Microwave at 800 W for 70 seconds (55 seconds at 1000 W; 90 seconds at 700 W). It should have risen and the top should be set, with the centre still slightly moist; if it is still runny, add 10-second bursts.
2 min
Leave it to rest for a minute before eating, as the mug and chocolate are very hot. Eat it straight from the mug, on its own or with a scoop of ice cream.

Notes
The timing depends on your microwave's power, usually shown on a label inside the door or in the manual: at 800 W, about 70 seconds; at 1000 W, about 55; at 700 W, around 90. Start with the shorter time and add 10-second bursts if needed: the mug cake keeps cooking in its own heat once out, and a few seconds too many leave it dry and rubbery. It is done when it has risen and the top looks set, even if the middle is still slightly moist; it is normal for it to sink a little as it cools. This version has no egg, because a whole egg for a single portion gives a rubbery texture. Use a microwave-safe mug of at least 350 ml and fill it no more than halfway, as it rises a lot. If you use self-raising flour, leave out the baking powder. With plant milk and dairy-free chocolate it is vegan. Eat it warm, within a few minutes: it firms up as it cools. It is wonderful with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The chocolate may contain traces of nuts.
