Equipment

  • 10 oz Microwave safe mug

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoon (60 ml) Milk
  • 2 tbsp + 1 teaspoon (36ml) Water
  • ½ teaspoon Instant Coffee
  • 4 tbsp (50 gms) Sugar
  • 4 tsp (20 ml) Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon Vinegar
  • 6 Tbsp (47 gms) All purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp (heaping) Baking Powder
  • ¼ tsp (heaping) Baking Soda
  • a pinch Salt
  • 2 ½ tablespoon Cocoa Powder (Natural, Unsweetened)
  • 3 tablespoon Mini chocolate chips (to top after baking)

Instructions

  • Mix milk, water and coffee in a microwave safe bowl and heat for about 30 seconds. Give them a quick stir to mix everything in and add oil, vanilla, sugar and vinegar next. Mix again.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt over wet ingredients and fold until the streaks of flour and cocoa disappears in the batter.
  • Pour in a 10 oz sized microwave mug and bake for 1 ½ minutes or till the top of the cake looks set.
  • Top with chocolate chips and allow to cool down for a minute or two before enjoying!

Notes

Storing Information:
  • I don't recommend storing mug cakes for long. Since these taste best baked fresh.
  • If you are required to keep them for a few hours, store them at room temperature covered tightly at all times. I use cling wraps to cover the mugs.
Tips to make Perfect Mug Cake:
  1. Don't skip vinegar from the recipe. You need it to react with leaveners and give cake a proper lift.
  2. I highly recommend using a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients to eliminate all the guess work and eye balling. It rally makes a difference in the texture of the final bake.  
Mug Size:
  • To bake this cake in a single mug you will require a 10 oz mug.
  • If you don't have such a big sized mug, you can divide this batter between two small mugs and bake them individually for 1 ½ minutes each.
  • If you want only one small mug cake that serves one (instead of a big), simply half this recipe and bake for 1 ½ minutes.
