About Chocolate Lava Mug Cake

Some of us have a sweet tooth, and the sudden cravings for something sweet and delicious are almost regular. But what do you do when you do not have something sweet at home? This instant dump-and-go 5-minute Microwave Choco Lava Mug Cake Recipe is my savior. It is a cross between a chocolate cake and a souffle that will satisfy your chocolate craving. Dump the ingredients in the mug, a nice mix, and a quick microwave, and there you have your Microwave Lava Mug Cake ready in minutes. This rich chocolate mug cake has a gooey center, is chocolaty and fudgy, and uses a few basic pantry ingredients. The best part about his molten lava cake is that you don’t have to make a large cake. Just make individual-size portions in under 5 minutes and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some sliced strawberries, and you have a gourmet dessert ready. Perfect for chocolate lovers. This microwave mug cake is an excellent dessert for one (single serving), but you can scale the recipe and make it in more mugs if you want to serve it to more people. If you want a gluten-free cake, you can also use gluten-free flour. The use of whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour can change the taste and texture of the cake, and it won’t be as soft and spongy as the all-purpose flour. Sugar – I use granulated white sugar in this recipe, but you can also use powdered jaggery, cane sugar, or brown sugar. Cocoa Powder – You will need unsweetened cocoa powder. I like Hershey’s Dutch process cocoa powder. Baking Powder – Baking powder makes the cake rise and soft and spongy. Vanilla Extract – Use a good quality vanilla extract, as this single ingredient adds flavor to the cake. Dark Chocolate – To make the center of the cake gooey with a pool of chocolate lava, some chopped dark chocolate is placed in the batter before baking so that the chocolate oozes out while eating it. You can add any dark chocolate to your mug cake. You can also use milk or white chocolate instead of dark chocolate. I like to chop the chocolate, but you can keep small chocolate squares or chocolate chunks over the center of the batter before baking to get a clean, warm, molten center. Others – You will also need water, milk, egg, and unsalted melted butter to make this easy dessert. You can top the cake with caramel, a dollop of peanut butter or Nutella, ice cream, chopped fruits, peanut butter chips, sprinkles, chocolate chips, etc.

¼ cup all-purpose flour ¼ cup granulated white sugar 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder ½ teaspoon baking powder

Tip – To check if the mug is 16 oz, fill it with 2 cups of water. If the water fits, the mug is fine. You can divide the batter into 2 smaller mugs if you want to eat smaller portions.

¼ cup melted unsalted butter 3 tablespoon milk 1 large egg ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Place ¼ cup of chopped pieces of chocolate on top of the batter and top gently with 1 tablespoon of room-temperature water. Check the cake. The edges should be set, and the center should be slightly wet and sticky. If not, cook for another 15 seconds. Do not overcook the cake. Find the perfect timing according to the power of your microwave. Cook for 1 minute first, then add a few more seconds to get that perfect texture. Remove the mug from the microwave and let it rest for a minute. Don’t serve it right out of the microwave; the center will be too warm and can burn the tongue. Also, keeping the cake for a minute will thicken the chocolate pool slightly to perfection. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream and some strawberry slices. Serve immediately.
