Option 2: Best Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe – Full Version
- 3 tablespoons flour (all-purpose or oat flour)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar or syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon oil or Nutella

- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
For Nutella Mug Cake (No Egg)
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons Nutella
- 2 tablespoons water or almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients
Add flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt directly into the mug. Stir well to combine.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients
Pour in water (or milk), vanilla, and oil or Nutella. Mix until a smooth, lump-free batter forms. Scrape the edges to ensure no dry bits remain.
Step 3: Microwave
Microwave the mug on high for 60 to 90 seconds. Watch closely after the 60-second mark. The cake should rise but not overflow.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Let sit for 1–2 minutes to cool slightly and allow the texture to set. Dig in straight from the mug, or top with your favorites.
Notes
- Avoid overcooking: Start at 60 seconds and add time in 10-second increments. Overbaking causes rubbery texture.
- Use a large mug: The batter expands while cooking. Use at least a 10 oz mug to avoid overflow.
- Add moisture: Use oil, Nutella, or plant-based milk to keep it rich and moist.
