Well, it will take you less than 5 minutes for prepping and 1 minute for cooking and you can enjoy an absolutely delicious chocolate cake whenever you like!

I would like to ask under what temperature should I set my microwave oven that is correct for baking because in my microwave I can only see Low medium and high temperature.
High temperature
This recipe is SUPER good. Great fir an after school treat. One thing I’d do tho (if you’re a piggy like me lol) you could melt chocolate and put it on top. I just tried it and it’s really good!
This recipe was perfect aside from the fact that my cake didnt rise much
Yummy! I did 1tbsp more of milk and cooked for 1.30mins and was perfeeeecctt

Tried it!!! Turned out amazing:) Thank u
This was delicious! Best microwave chocolate cake and ready in no time. For those wanting more rise I had success substituting baking soda for powder and adding 1/2 tsp vinegar (apple cider vinegar but white would also work).
It was better than I expected. It was pretty good.
So good! Best mug cake recipe I’ve tried yet!
Delicious
At what temp should i set my oven at??? In c
Ur supposed to use the micorwave
Awesome recipe…came out very well …😊👌
Can i add an egg to this?
Super delicios
Excellent recipe.😊 I also add little bit instant coffee in it and though in my microwave it takes 10 seconds longer than 1 minute,the texture taste is really amazing
If you want it to rise a bit more maybe try self-raising flour. Haven’t tried it yet but lemme know how it goes 🙂
It was awesome but I used a bit more baking powder and milk for the gooey substance , and I suggest you to add extra baking powder and vanilla
Can I use almond milk or soy milk instead of regular milk?
yeah! I used soya and replaced the baking powder with aquafaba and they were fantastic.
Really good recipe would recommend, so good. Five Stars
Best ever mug cake. Tried and came out excellent.
I havent tried yet, i’ve been looking in the comments if someone has not used milk and something else. What am i gonna do if my dad has not come back from the store with the milk. What shall i use than milk?

Should I use sweetened or unsweetened cocoa powder?,instructions are unclear
We have used unsweetened cocoa powder if you want to want to use sweetened cocoa powder then you can just make sure you reduced the sugar amount.
Best mug cake I’ve ever tried ♥️ it turned out perfectly yummy .. I just have to add some more milk and microwave it for 1:30 sec ..
This is the hands down most perfect chocolate mug cake recipe I’ve ever tried (and trust me, I’ve tried a lot)
This is lovely! thank you!
I tried microwaving it on high for 1 minute but still came out kinda wet and soggy so I put it back in, put it on Medium for another minute and it came out great!
Would love to make this again next time I’m craving a brownie!
Soo yummy! I just added extra milk and it turned out perfect I would make it another time and it’s also very easy
What if we dont add chocolate chunks..
Is it necessary? Does anyone try without chocolate chunks..?
Soo yummy! I just added extra milk and it turned out perfect I would make it another time and it’s also very easy and if u use a oversized cup it will come out nice and I recommend u add another tsp of baking soda to make it rise better
It was so easy but just Mabey 1 thing of coco powder but it was so good
I’ve tried so many mug cakes and none of them are good except for this one. This mug cake is so delicious and so easy to make. I definitely recommend it!
This Was Amazing Like Out of all the mug cakes i tried this was the best! its was so good so moist and not to chocolate-y!
i rlly recommend this recipe!
Omg sooo yumm! I tried a few recipes and this one was awesome and I even ran out of vanilla! I added a few dashes of cinnamon and a couple chopped chocolate Hersey nuggets and I’m talking, tasted like a mexican cocoa soufflé.
Perfect result…. I just added a little more milk
Really good but I added a lot more milk almost double .
Just see the video for the consisitency .
Was in a hunt for an easy and tasty cake recepie and I finally got one !!!!!! Next time gonna try with extra milk 🙂
this was an awesome recipe i but recommend adding only 1 tbs of caoco powder and a little more milk and flour it gives the mug cake more of a milk chocolate taste which is delicious
SOO yummy ☺️
Love your recipes. This one is my constant, i just make some caramel sauce to top it off and it’s amazing.
It was so good I added extra milk cause everyone else did and turned out really well.
This recipe is sooo good! My friend recommended this website to me, and I loved this recipe in specific. I myself am allergic to egg so this recipe was a wonderful find for me!
How many degrees we have to kept in oven?
I loved this recipe!
I love this recipe I made like 1 hundred of these every night.
I love, love, love this recipe!!! I personally used to just make it as a mug cake except i’d put it in a small baking pan in the oven at around 190c but then my mum and sister began to ask for me to make them one so in the end I just decided that I hated doing all the small dishes and just made it into a cake!! Delicious! I typically do the 7 servings option and that normally fills up the cake pan just fine for just 3 or 4 people. Definitely it needs more milk, i’m a little iffy about the sugar so I add 2 or 1 tbs extra, and I take out the vanilla essence. It doesn’t taste THAT good on the 2nd day but it’s still good! It gets quite moist on the second day. After I found this recipe, I haven’t been using any others! It literally takes the shortest amount of time to bake (25ish mins), VERY fast to make (probably like 5 minutes), such little and simple ingredients, and tastes really good! I haven’t yet to try it but I think it would be a 10/10 if you made some frosting to go with it. Just make sure the frosting isn’t too sweet! Definitely would recommend.
My kids made it, with some of my help. They loved it. It is amazing. I love that I can save my eggs for something else. We followed just exactly as written. Delicious!
Ive been searching for the perfect mug cake recipe for too long now , and ive finally found it giys i highly recommend for a chocolate lover .
It just doesn’t work. I tried it 2 times with different microwaves, different times and accurate measurements, but still a wet, sticky, undercooked cake. The 1st time it was extremely sticky and hard but yet wet and undercooked, the same the other time except less time and not hard, but doughy. It just never works. I wanted an easy, successful mug cake, but I guess I’ll always have to work the traditional way in oven.
this happened to me as well!! 🙁
Amazing and delicious!
I LOVED the mug cake next time i do it i would dd like 1 tbsp more milk and 1.30 mins more i think because there was still some not cooked cake at the bottom of my mug and there was bit of a after taste but it was good! i recommend doing this but with my tips!
This recipe is Awesome. I made it with gluten free floor and used a pinch of stevia and coconut sugar instead of regular sugar. I put a piece of chocolate right in the middle. It was so good.
Yeah you probably want to do with with butter instead of vegetable oil. Makes a big difference.
This was soo yummy! I tried before some other recipes. But this one is the only that tastes like real cake! The other ones were like waffles. The best mug cake recipe!
The butter instead of the vegetable oil makes a big difference but it was delicious
Well, maybe it’s just your oven because this recipe always has worked for me. And there’s are so many other people that it worked for and loved it. It’s probably something with the oven or maybe your ingredients.
excellent cake made just as directed. have made it several times, perfect every singe time.
excellent recipe made as directed turns out perfectly
I used 5tbspn milk instead of 3.
Perfect consistency. Turned out fluffy. I make this with my kids.
I love this recipe! I replaced veg oil with butter and used a lesser quantity of sugar and the cake turned out great 🙂
I used coconut oil and almond milk it was absolutly decadent and very fluffy soft.
Is “vanilla essence” the same as vanilla extract?
What is I don’t have vegetable oil? Could I use avocado oil instead then?
SO GOOD!!!
This is actually a really good Mug Cake, I’ve never had one so fluffy before! You may have over cooked it or put in the wrong ingredient measurements. That or you don’t like chocolate or decided to make a chocolate mug cake for some reason.
I suppose it could pass as okay, but I didn’t like the texture of it
Can dark chocolate be used in place of milk chocolate ??
Super good! I highly recommend (I used extra virgin olive oil)
Tried so many mug cake recipes and this is now my go to. Cam out perfect. Only added a little more milk to make dough lighter /fluffier! perfecto
This was absolutely delicious 😋
Tried this many times since the pandemic and in my microwave had to put it for 1.5 minutes. It has been the best go to snack in the evenings or on a Saturday of relaxation. Thank you so much for this recipe.
