Vegan Chocolate Mug Cake

Step 1

In a microwave safe mug (mine was about 12 ounces), whisk together all of the dry ingredients, but only 1 tbsp of chocolate chips.

Step 2

Add in the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth (these mini whisks are perfect!). The batter should be pretty thick.

Step 3

Top with the rest of the chocolate chips and wipe down the edges of the mug if desired.

Step 4

Add to the microwave on high heat for 90-120 seconds. Mine was perfect at 100 seconds, but all microwaves are different. Because this cooks so quickly, even just 5 seconds can make a big difference (good or bad) so start with 90 and add more in small increments as needed. If you want a more gooey center, keep it on the low end, but if you want a well done standard cakey center, at least 100 seconds is ideal. It should just look done on top and not at all wet when it's done.

Step 5

Remove from the microwave and let sit for about 5 minutes. Avoid diving in right away! It really needs to sit for a few minutes to settle.

Step 6

Top with ice cream or whipped cream or enjoy as is!
