How to Make 5 Minute Chocolate Lava Cake
- In a microwave-safe 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder.
- Add the hot or cold coffee to the sugar mixture and stir until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared microwave-safe mug.
- Gently spoon the chocolate-sugar mixture on top of the batter. Do not mix.
- Microwave on high for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, or until the top is set and the edges are slightly mushy. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's power.
- Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (use oven mitts!). Let the cake cool for a minute before inverting it onto a plate.
- The cake will have a layer of delicious, molten chocolate sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
