Let’s make a quick, “melt-in-your-mouth” dessert that you can whip up in just 5 minutes. I’ll give you a detailed recipe for a 5-minute chocolate mug cake—rich, soft, and ready in minutes. 🍫✨
5-Minute Melt-in-Your-Mouth Chocolate Mug Cake
Ingredients (serves 1)
-
4 tbsp all-purpose flour
-
4 tbsp granulated sugar
-
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1/4 tsp baking powder
-
Pinch of salt
-
3 tbsp milk (any kind)
-
2 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter)
-
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
-
Optional: chocolate chips, nuts, or a small piece of chocolate for extra gooeyness
Instructions
-
Mix the dry ingredients
In a microwave-safe mug, combine:-
Flour
-
Sugar
-
Cocoa powder
-
Baking powder
-
Salt
Stir them together until evenly mixed.
-
-
Add the wet ingredients
Pour in:-
Milk
-
Oil (or melted butter)
-
Vanilla extract
Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth. Make sure there are no lumps at the bottom.
-
-
Add extras (optional)
Drop a few chocolate chips or a small chocolate piece in the center for a melty surprise. -
Microwave
Cook in the microwave on high for 70–90 seconds (time may vary depending on your microwave).
✅ Tip: Don’t overcook! The cake should look slightly moist on top; it will continue cooking a bit in the mug after microwaving. -
Serve immediately
Let it cool for 1 minute, then enjoy straight from the mug. Optional: top with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, or drizzle of chocolate syrup.
Why it melts in your mouth
-
Oil or butter keeps it soft and moist.
-
Quick cooking prevents it from drying out.
-
Optional chocolate center adds that gooey, melty sensation.
If you want, I can also give you a 5-minute no-bake dessert that doesn’t even need a microwave and is just as melt-in-your-mouth soft. It’s perfect for lazy days.
