Pro-tips:

Here are the three most important baking tips before you start baking your mug cake:

  1. You must use a mug that is big enough as the batter will rise a bit in the oven. It is suggested to use at least a 12-ounce mug for baking a normal mug cake.
  2.  When you measure the floor, make sure to spoon it into the measuring cup and then level it with the back of a knife.
  3. You should keep on checking the cake when it’s in the oven. Please do not leave it for long as it may burn.

How to bake a chocolate mug cake?

Take the mug and spray it with nonstick cooking spray or grease it with some butter to avoid sticking of the cake.

  1.  First of all, whisk all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, salt and baking powder in a bowl together. While making this cake, you can use either the natural unsweetened cocoa powder or dutch-processed cocoa powder; it completely is your choice, and both work fine. 
  2.  Now add some milk, vanilla extract, and oil and stir them until they combine to form a mixture. It’s better to use whole milk as it is easily available and gives a richer taste to the baked items. But you can choose from skim or almond milk too. 
  3.  Since you have mixed up the cake batter, you can pour it into your greased mug now. Add some chocolate chips if you want to have a chocolate chip mug cake.
  4.  Now insert the mug into the oven and microwave the cake until the center is set and your cake will be ready in minutes (the cooking time varies with the size of the mug you use).

You can follow the steps mentioned above and treat yourself with the best chocolate mug cake. The little cup with rich taste can be shared among all your friends, and you don’t need to share the little efforts you made.
