Step 2 of 10

Mix well, so it now it should look like this...⬆

Step 3 of 10

Now crack an egg over your mug, but you only have to mix it so that the egg has been whisked down a bit

Step 4 of 10

Alrighty! Let's take out the vanilla essence, vegetable oil and milk!

Step 5 of 10

Now pour all those ingredients into your mug and mix well! So now you have a nice looking little mix of chocolate batter...⬆

Step 6 of 10

The next step is optional, so if you choose not to put choc chips in your cake in a cup them its time to head straight to the microwave!

Step 7 of 10

Now let's add our choc chips!

Shivani Garg last year

Tried it but it turned out spongy and kinda bland, I didn't like it :( maybe baking it in the cup would turn out better

I've tried... Not bad ))) 👌

Tanya Tabletka last year

How would you make different flavors? White or strawberry (very yummy) cake are good, but wouldn't taking out the chocolate and adding different things change the consistency of the batter and how it baked? Do you have any ideas on how to bake different flavors?

Emily V. last year

I make this, but use only 2 tablespoons of whisked egg, but 4 tablespoons of sugar. May have to try it this way instead. So fun to experiment with flavors. Crush up a thin mint cookie in a bag, sooooo good in the cake!!
