Time 17m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 large egg
¼ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds
1 ½ tablespoons miniature semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons milk
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon confectioners' sugar
¼ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, or as needed

Steps:

Whisk egg, sugar, salt, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth. Stir coconut, almonds, and chocolate chips into the mixture; whisk in milk.
Place flour into a small bowl or measuring cup and stir baking powder into flour with a mini whisk or fork. Pour flour mixture over batter and whisk just until you can't see visible flour.
Divide batter evenly between 2 coffee cups. Gently tap the cups on a work surface to eliminate air bubbles.
Place cups into microwave oven, one at a time. Microwave each cup on High for 45 seconds. Nothing will happen in the first 30 seconds; in the last 10 to 15 seconds, batter will begin to rise in the cup. Cooked cake will collapse after microwaving. Remove from oven and let cool 2 to 3 minutes.
Lightly dust each serving with confectioners' sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cocoa. Place each coffee cup onto a saucer and serve.

Tips:

Use the right mug: Choose a mug that is microwave-safe and holds at least 1 cup of liquid. A larger mug will result in a flatter cake.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, rubbery cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Microwave the cake in short increments: This will help to prevent the cake from overcooking. Start with 30 seconds and then microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds at a time, until the cake is cooked through.
Let the cake cool for a minute before eating: This will help to prevent the cake from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Chocolate mug cakes are a quick and easy way to satisfy your chocolate cravings. With just a few simple ingredients and a microwave, you can have a delicious, warm chocolate cake in just minutes. So next time you're in a hurry, or just want a quick and easy dessert, give this chocolate mug cake recipe a try!
