It was a rainy this past weekend here in New Jersey, so what better time to whip up a gooey and satisfying chocolate chip mug cake? This mug cake recipe is just about as easy to make as those store-bought mug cake mixes, but tastes so much better! I’m sharing my recipe today as part of the monthly Taste Creations blog hop – we get together to share our recipes the first Monday of every month!

Easy Chocolate Chip Mug Cake Recipe
My daughters and I love mug cakes, so I have a few boxes of store-bought mixes in our pantry. But I always am disappointed when I cook up one of those—they always seem to taste almost good, but not quite that tasty to me. So this past weekend I decided to try making a quick mug cake from scratch. I found a quick and easy eggless recipe from Bake It With Love, and it didn’t disappoint! My mug cake tasted like a warm, just-baked chocolate chip cookies, and only took me about 3-4 minutes to make!
Ingredients
- ? ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ? 2 tablespoon light brown sugar (packed)
- ? ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ? 1 pinch salt
- ? 3 tablespoon milk
- ? 3 tablespoon butter (melted)
- ? ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ? 2 tablespoon chocolate chips (milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate morsels)
Instructions
- Whisk together your dry ingredients either directly in your mug, or in a small bowl: ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, 1 pinch salt
- Stir in the liquid ingredients (3 tablespoon milk, 3 tablespoons butter, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract) and mix until smooth, then gently stir in the 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips. Pour the batter into a mug if needed.
- Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes. Continue heating in 30 second increments if necessary, until the cake is puffy, set, and springs back to the touch.
- Allow your cooked microwave mug cake to sit in the microwave for 1 minute before eating. Just get yourself a spoon, and you are all set!

This looks so good, Lauren! Mug cakes are one of my favorite things to make, because they’re so easy! I got some salted caramel chocolate chips at Trader Joe’s that I bet would be DELICIOUS in this!
