How to Make Five Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

  1. Lightly grease a large microwave-safe mug with cooking spray.
  2. Add 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour to the mug.
  3. Add 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder.
  4. Add 4 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  5. Crack 1 large egg into the mug.
  6. Add 3 tablespoons milk (any kind).
  7. Add 3 tablespoons vegetable oil.
  8. Stir vigorously with a fork until the batter is smooth and well combined. There may be a few lumps, that's okay!
  9. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave; check at 2 minutes and 30 seconds for doneness. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Let cool slightly before enjoying! Top with your favorite ice cream, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings for an extra delicious treat.
