Flour: 10 tablespoons
Cocoa powder: 4 tablespoons
Sugar: 8 tablespoons
Vegetable oil: 6 tablespoons
Milk: 8 tablespoons
Vanilla: ¼ teaspoon
Eggs: 2
Baking powder: 1.5 tablespoons
Combine sugar, flour, cocoa powder, vanilla, and baking powder in a bowl. Mix well using a hand whisk. For a smoother result, sift the flour before adding it.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and break the eggs into it. Whisk together with a fork or hand mixer. Don’t worry if the mixture feels thick at first.
Gradually add milk and oil, mixing well until the batter is smooth. The consistency should be neither too runny nor too stiff.
Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a few ceramic mugs. Pour half of the batter into each mug.
In a large pot, add a small amount of water, place the mugs inside, cover with a lid, and cook on low heat for 30 minutes. Once cooked, turn off the heat and leave the mugs covered for another 15 minutes.
Remove the cakes from the mugs. To cook additional batter quickly, place the mug in the microwave at full power for 1–3 minutes. This allows you to make a delicious mug cake in just a minute.
Tips:
You can also bake this cake in cupcake liners in the oven using the same recipe.
The texture of this cake is soft and tender.
To make a plain cake, replace the cocoa powder with an equal amount of flour.
Adjust sugar to taste; the listed amount gives a balanced sweetness.
This serves 3–4 people. Adjust proportions for more servings.
Milk: 10 tablespoons
Sugar: 7 tablespoons
Vegetable oil: 6 tablespoons
Flour: 16 tablespoons
Baking powder: 2 teaspoons
Vanilla: ½ teaspoon
Eggs: 2
Cocoa powder: 1 tablespoon
Mix and sift flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with sugar and vanilla.
Add milk and oil, stirring until smooth.
Gradually incorporate the flour mixture, mixing well to create a uniform batter. Divide the batter in half, adding cocoa powder to one portion.
Lightly grease 2–3 mugs depending on their size. Layer the batters by spooning a portion of cocoa batter into the mugs, then a portion of vanilla batter, filling each mug halfway. Use a toothpick to swirl and create a marbled effect.
Place the mugs in a pot with about one finger’s height of water. Cover and cook on low heat for 30 minutes.
Once done, let the cakes cool slightly, then remove from the mugs and serve.
