IMPORTANT: For accuracy, I would recommend using the gram measurements provided, as those are the exact quantities I use. Cup measurements are given as estimates (based on US cup measurements) to make it easier for those who do not have a scale.

Ingredients
 

  • 3 tbsp flour - regular all purpose
  • 2 tbsp white sugar - brown okay too - see note 1
  • 4 tsp cocoa powder
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 tbsp milk - full fat preferred
  • ¼ tsp instant coffee
  • ½ tsp vanilla essence/extract
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil - I use canola, but any unflavoured oil will work
  • 1½ tbsp 50% dark chocolate - coarsely chopped

Instructions

  • In a microwave safe mug, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and mix together with a fork.
  • In a separate bowl/mug, mix the instant coffee into the milk, and mix together until the coffee is dissolved.
  • Pour the milk/coffee mixture, vanilla essence and vegetable oil into the mug with the dry ingredients already in it. Mix until combined (do not overmix).
  • Fold in the chocolate chunks.
  • Microwave for 1 minute. Cooking time can vary depending on the strength of your microwave. Check your cake by poking a thin knife into it, and if it comes out clean it's done. If your cake needs a little longer, pop it into the microwave for another 10 seconds until done.
  • Garnish with whatever you like! I like putting some whipped cream on top. Ice cream or fresh fruit work great too :)

Notes

Note 1. Brown sugar can be used as well for a more gooey texture.
