How to Make 5 Minute Chocolate Cake
- In a large microwave-safe mug (at least 12oz), whisk together 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder until well combined.
- Add 1 large egg, 3 tablespoons milk (any kind), and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Mix vigorously until smooth, ensuring no dry flour remains.
- Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through and springs back when lightly touched. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave; start with 2 minutes and add 30-second intervals as needed.
- Let cool slightly before enjoying! Top with your favorite ice cream, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce for an extra decadent treat.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
