Learn to make a delicious molten chocolate lava mug cake in the microwave. This quick and easy recipe is perfect for a single serving of decadent chocolate goodness with a gooey center.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ounce semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined and smooth.
  3. Gently stir in the chopped semi-sweet chocolate, making sure it’s distributed throughout the batter.
  4. Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the cake is set but the center is still soft. The exact time will depend on your microwave’s wattage.
  5. Let it cool for a minute before enjoying the molten chocolate center.

Notes

  • For an extra gooey center, place a few extra chocolate chips in the middle of the batter before microwaving.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cake, as this will dry out the center.
  • You can dust with powdered sugar or add a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat.
