3 ingredients chocolate mug cake recipe
A 3-ingredient chocolate mug cake is a quick and easy dessert that you can prepare in a microwave using just three simple ingredients: self-rising flour, cocoa powder, and sweetened condensed milk. To make it, you typically mix these ingredients in a microwave-safe mug, pop it in the microwave for a short time (usually around 1-2 minutes), and watch as it magically rises and transforms into a miniature chocolate cake. It's a popular choice for when you're craving a homemade dessert but don't want to go through the effort of making a full-sized cake. You can also customize it by adding extras like chocolate chips, vanilla extract, or a pinch of salt for added flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup self-rising flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk

Notes
One important thing to note when making a 3-ingredient chocolate mug cake is to ensure that you use a microwave-safe mug or microwave-safe container.
Also, keep an eye on the cake while it's in the microwave to prevent it from overflowing. Microwave cooking times can vary, so it's a good idea to start with a shorter cooking time and then add more time if needed. Overcooking can result in a dry cake.
Lastly, let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before digging in as it will be extremely hot when it comes out of the microwave. Enjoy your delicious and quick treat, but do so safely!
