How to Make Chocolate Mug Cake:

Start by lightly greasing a microwave-safe mug with a little oil or butter to prevent sticking.

Crack the egg directly into the mug. Add the vegetable oil and whisk them together using a fork or small whisk.

Add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.

Next, add the cocoa powder and flour. Mix gently until all the ingredients are well combined and no lumps remain.

Fold in the chocolate chips and give the batter one final stir to evenly distribute the chunks.

Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 2 minutes (cooking time may vary slightly depending on your microwave). If using an oven, bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 25–30 minutes.

Once done, let it cool slightly. Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

Serve immediately, straight from the mug. This warm, gooey chocolate treat is best enjoyed fresh, with a spoon in hand and a smile on your face.

Whether you’re in a rush, looking for a quick dessert fix, or simply craving something comforting—Chocolate Mug Cake is your perfect, fuss-free companion.
