Single-Serving Gooey Chocolate Mug Cake
After tempting you with a very unhealthy (but so delicious) chocolate wacky cake last month, I felt it was only fair to give you a lower calorie, every-night option. This chocolate mug cake is made with pantry-staple ingredients and takes just seconds to cook in the microwave! Plus it’s only 200 calories!
I always need something sweet after dinner. While most nights a piece of dark chocolate with a glass of unsweetened vanilla almond milk or 1/2 a banana with peanut butter does the trick, sometimes you need something warm and gooey. Enter in this mug cake.
Now, this cake is not the sugar-bomb that my wacky cake is. Instead, it is slightly bitter with the perfect hint of sweet. (However, if you do want it sweeter, you can up the amount of chocolate chips – it’ll be our secret 😉 ) Combine the deep chocolate flavor with a warm, gooey center and I promise your sweet-cravings will be fulfilled!
Two quick hints: do NOT overcook this, it takes just seconds for this cake to go from gooey to dry. Secondly, mix very well. Nothing ruins a cake like pockets of unbaked flour.
So here’s a toast to getting cozy with a molten cake for one!
Single Serving Gooey Chocolate Cake
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Combine all dry ingredients in a microwave-safe mug.
- Stir in milk and greek yogurt until completely combined. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
