Step 1
Start by combining the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and hot cocoa mix right in a large microwave-safe mug. Crack the egg into the mug and give everything a good stir to combine. Next, pour in the chocolate milk and vegetable oil, mixing until the batter is smooth and well blended. Fold in the chocolate chips and a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor. Pop the mug into the microwave and cook on high for about 3 minutes, or until the cake has risen a bit and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool for a minute or two before digging in!
Why you’ll love it
This dessert is perfect for when you want something sweet fast. It only takes a few minutes to make and uses common ingredients. Plus, it's a single serving, so there's no need to share unless you want to!
How to serve
Enjoy it warm straight from the mug for the best gooey texture. You can add a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top to make it extra special. Fresh berries also pair nicely and add a bit of freshness.
Storage & leftovers
This cake is best eaten immediately since it can get dense after cooling. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat gently before eating. However, it’s hard to beat the fresh, just-cooked taste!
