Chocolate Mug Cake

To make a chocolate mug cake in the microwave, start by whisking together 3 tablespoons of melted butter, 3 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence in a mug. Then, add 3 tablespoons of sugar powder, 0.25 cup of maida, 0.5 teaspoon of baking powder, and 2 tablespoons of chocolate powder. Mix well, stir in 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips, tap the mug gently to remove air bubbles, and microwave on high for about 1-2 minutes until the cake is cooked through.

This chocolate mug cake recipe is not suitable for vegans as it contains butter and milk. However, you can easily make it vegan by substituting melted coconut oil for butter and using a plant-based milk alternative like almond or soy milk.

If you don't have maida (all-purpose flour) on hand, you can substitute it with whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour blends. Keep in mind that the texture may vary slightly, but it should still yield a delicious chocolate mug cake.

If you have leftover chocolate mug cake, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To enjoy it again, simply reheat it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until warmed through.

Some delicious toppings to pair with your chocolate mug cake include whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce. These toppings can enhance the flavor and make your dessert even more indulgent!
