To mark World Chocolate Day, celebrated annually on July 7th, we bring you a fun, quick recipe that will satisfy your sweet cravings in minutes.

This 'Eggless Chocolate Mug Cake' is so easy to make that even children can prepare it with ease. The best part is that it requires neither a lengthy oven setup nor the hassle of dirtying a pile of dishes. Simply grab a mug, mix the ingredients, and your piping-hot cake is ready in just a few minutes. Let’s dive straight into this incredibly easy recipe.
**Ingredients for Chocolate Mug Cake**
To make this delightful cake, you only need a few common kitchen staples:
All-purpose flour (Maida): 3 tablespoons
Powdered sugar: 3 tablespoons
Cocoa powder: 2 tablespoons
Baking powder: ¼ teaspoon
Milk: 3 tablespoons
Refined oil or melted butter: 2 tablespoons
Vanilla essence: ¼ teaspoon
Choco-chips: 1 tablespoon
**Easy Method to Make Chocolate Mug Cake**
First, take a large, microwave-safe coffee mug. Add the flour, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder to it. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly with a spoon so they are well combined.
Next, add the milk, butter, and vanilla essence to the mug. Ensure the milk is neither too cold nor too hot.
Now, mix everything using a fork or a small spoon until you get a smooth, thick batter. It is important to whisk it well to ensure there are no lumps of flour or cocoa powder left in the batter. Scrape down any dry flour from the sides of the mug and mix it in.
Once the batter is completely smooth, add a generous amount of chocolate chips on top. As the cake bakes, these chips will melt, making the inside even more chocolatey and delicious.
Now, place the mug in the microwave and bake it on high power for 1.5 to 2 minutes. Since microwave power levels vary, be sure to check the cake after 1.5 minutes by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
Carefully remove it from the microwave, as the mug will be very hot. Let it cool for a minute or two. Your super soft and spongy chocolate mug cake is now ready to enjoy.

To make the experience even better, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the warm cake and drizzle a little chocolate syrup over it. Trust me, the combination of cold ice cream and warm chocolate cake is so delicious that you’ll want to make it again and again.
