Description

A delicious and easy recipe for smores mug cake that you’ll love making at home. Ready in just 60 seconds, no need for a bonfire when you can create this gooey, chocolatey delight using your microwave.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  • Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients – In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar until well combined with no lumps
  • Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients – Pour in milk and vegetable oil, stirring until the batter is smooth and no dry streaks remain
  • Step 3: Fold in Chocolate – Gently fold in chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter
  • Step 4: Add Toppings – Top with mini marshmallows and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the surface
  • Step 5: Microwave – Microwave on high for 60 seconds, watching carefully to prevent overflow
  • Step 6: Cool and Serve – Let cool for 1 minute before enjoying, optionally adding more toppings

Notes

  • Use a large mug to prevent overflow – the cake will rise significantly during cooking
  • Don’t overmix the batter – gentle stirring prevents a tough, rubbery texture
  • Watch through the microwave window – stop immediately if the cake starts overflowing
  • Let it cool slightly before eating – the marshmallows will be extremely hot
