Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons brown or white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, or coconut)
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil (vegetable or coconut oil)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until uniformly combined.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the plant-based milk, oil, and vanilla extract, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps—avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb.
  3. Microwave the Cake: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 90 seconds. Check after one minute to avoid overcooking. The cake should rise and set but remain soft and moist inside.
  4. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool for a minute or two before eating to prevent burning. Enjoy directly from the mug or tip onto a plate.

Notes

  • Measure ingredients precisely using level teaspoons and tablespoons for best texture.
  • Do not overcook; microwave ovens vary, so start with less time and add in 10-second increments.
  • Use fresh baking powder to ensure the cake rises properly and stays fluffy.
  • Opt for unsweetened cocoa powder to keep chocolate flavor rich but not overly sweet.
  • Mix gently once wet and dry ingredients are combined to avoid tough texture.
