Cake – 5 minutes

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. In a large microwave-safe mug, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and lump-free.
  3. (Optional) Drop a teaspoon of Nutella or chocolate chips into the middle for a gooey center.
  4. Microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave power.
  5. Let it cool for 1–2 minutes — it will be hot!
  6. Enjoy straight from the mug or top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or a scoop of ice cream. 🍦

💡 Tips

  • Don’t overcook — the cake continues cooking as it cools.
  • You can make a vanilla version by skipping cocoa powder and adding a touch more vanilla.
  • For a coffee twist, mix in ½ tsp instant coffee powder.

Would you like me to give you a 5-minute blender cake version too (great for making a whole cake without an oven)?
