Ingredients
  

Ingredients for Your No-Egg Cookie Dough Mug Cake

  • 40 g unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar Non-negotiable part of the 50/50 blend
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar Pack tightly
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence OR 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 5 tablespoon plain flour / all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder The precise tipping point for lift
  • 1 Pinch salt Flavor enhancer
  • 2 tablespoon chocolate chips Plus extra for topping

Instructions
 

The Foolproof 4-Minute Blueprint

  • Place the butter in a large microwave-safe mug. Microwave on high for 20 seconds or until the butter is melted. Stir through the sugars and vanilla essence.
  • Add the plain flour, baking powder and salt and stir until a soft dough comes together. Stir through the chocolate chips. Flatten down the dough down into the mug then top with extra chocolate chips, if desired.
  • Microwave for 1 minute (based on an 1100 watt microwave). Allow to cool for 1 minute before eating. Enjoy!

Notes

The goal is to heat the flour/fat matrix just past gelatinization without evaporating the residual moisture. When you pull the mug out, the center should still look slightly damp—this is calculated to resolve during the sixty-second cooling phase. The cooling step is non-negotiable; it allows the starches to set and the chocolate chips to reach a perfect, molten consistency. If using a 700W microwave, start with 90 seconds on 70% power and rest for 90 seconds. For an extra decadent experience, press a single square of chocolate into the very center of the dough before cooking for a lava-cake effect.
