Description
This Super Moist Microwave Milo Cake is a quick and satisfying chocolate dessert made with pantry staples. It’s eggless, super moist, and ready in just minutes using a microwave and a mug.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Milo powder
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 4 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine the all-purpose flour, Milo powder, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the milk, oil, and vanilla extract (if using) and stir until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Ensure the mug is only filled halfway to allow room for the cake to rise.
- Microwave on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes. Check at the 1-minute mark and microwave in additional 10-second intervals if needed until the center is set.
- Let the cake cool for 1–2 minutes before serving. Optionally, top with whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
- Add a spoonful of peanut butter or Nutella in the center for a gooey surprise.
- Substitute Milo with Ovaltine or hot chocolate mix for a different flavor.
- Stir in chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
- Use almond milk or oat milk for a vegan version.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but can be covered and stored at room temperature for up to 12 hours.
