I am all about finding the easiest ways to make food — especially when it comes to dessert. I’ve found plenty of delicious mug cake recipes, but this one is by far the easiest to make and it tastes delicious. It only takes about eight minutes to make, and the best part is there are only three dishes to clean afterward.

Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons chocolate chips

Directions:

  1. Mix flour, sugar and cocoa powder in a large coffee mug
  2. In a separate bowl or mug, mix together the egg, milk, oil and vanilla extract
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the mug with the dry ingredients
  4. Mix well before adding the chocolate chips (do not stir the chocolate chips as they will sink while cooking)
  5. Microwave the cake (1000 watt microwave) for three minutes. The cake will puff above the rim
  6. Let the cake cool and then turn it onto a plate to eat, or eat it out of the mug
  7. Add ice cream or whipped cream
