Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons almond milk or any plant-based milk
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or maple syrup
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: chocolate chips or nuts for topping

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe mug
  • Measuring spoons
  • Fork or whisk
  • Microwave

Method
 

  1. In your microwave-safe mug, mix the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder.
  2. Pour in the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. If you're using chocolate chips or nuts, fold them into the batter now.
  4. Microwave the mug on high for about 1 minute, keeping an eye to prevent overcooking.
  5. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If necessary, microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds.
  6. Allow the mug cake to cool for a minute before digging in.
  7. Top with a dollop of vegan whipped cream or a scoop of dairy-free ice cream if desired.

Notes

For an extra decadent version, add a tablespoon of nut butter to the batter before microwaving.
