Print Recipe

A super fast and moist chocolate cake that is mixed in one bowl and cooked in the microwave, perfect for satisfying sudden sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
  2. Add the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and creamy.
  3. Carefully stir in the boiling water until just combined; the batter will be thin.
  4. Pour the batter into a microwave-safe dish or large mug (approx. 2-cup capacity), leaving room for the cake to rise.
  5. Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes. Check at the 1-minute mark; a toothpick inserted should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
  6. Let the cake cool for 1-2 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Microwave wattages vary, so start with the shortest time to avoid overcooking.
  • Ensure the dish is microwave-safe to prevent cracking.
  • Serve warm for the best 'melt-in-your-mouth' texture.
