A quick and delightful single-serve chocolate mug cake, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth in minutes.
Add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt to a microwave-safe mug.
Ensure the mug is large enough to prevent overflow during cooking.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly with a fork.
Mixing well ensures an even distribution of ingredients.
Add the milk, canola oil, and vanilla extract to the mug.
Pour the liquids gently to avoid splashing.
Stir the mixture until a smooth batter forms.
Scrape the bottom of the mug to incorporate all dry ingredients.
Microwave the mug on high for 45-60 seconds.
Check the cake at 45 seconds to avoid overcooking.
Allow the mug cake to cool for a few minutes before enjoying.
Cooling helps the cake set and enhances its texture.
