Print Recipe

A quick and indulgent mug cake with a molten chocolate center and a subtle boozy twist from Baileys Irish Cream. Perfect for solo desserts or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour (about 30 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (about 12 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (about 38 grams)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons milk (whole or 2%, about 45 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream (about 30 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (about 30 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips or chunks (about 30 grams)

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, combine 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine and break up any lumps (about 1 minute).
  2. Add 3 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Stir gently until smooth with no dry spots (about 2 minutes).
  3. Nestle 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips or chunks into the center of the batter without mixing.
  4. Microwave on high for 70-90 seconds. Start checking at 70 seconds; the top should look set but moist, edges slightly pulling away. Add 10-second bursts if undercooked.
  5. Let the cake rest for 1-2 minutes to finish cooking and thicken the lava center.
  6. Enjoy warm by breaking into the center to release the molten chocolate lava.

Notes

[‘Use fresh cocoa powder for best flavor and texture.’, ‘Measure ingredients carefully to maintain moisture balance.’, ‘Start with shorter microwave times and add increments to avoid overcooking.’, ‘Do not stir chocolate chips into batter to maintain molten center.’, ‘Use a ceramic mug for even heating.’, ‘Let cake rest after microwaving to improve texture and lava consistency.’, ‘Place mug on a microwave-safe plate to catch any overflow.’]
