Microwave Chocolate Coffee Mug Cake Delight

Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons boiling water

Instructions

1. Prepare the Mug:
- Use a microwave-safe mug with a capacity of at least 12 ounces.
- Add the butter to the mug and microwave on high for 20-30 seconds or until the butter is fully melted.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- Stir in the brown sugar, milk, and vanilla extract with the melted butter until well combined.
- Add the instant coffee and mix until it dissolves completely.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

4. Blend and Prepare for Cooking:
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients in the mug, mixing until smooth.
- Carefully pour in the boiling water and stir to combine; this will help the cake have a moist texture.

5. Microwave Cooking:
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 70-90 seconds.
- Be cautious: the cake will rise and might overflow if the mug is too small.
- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool for a minute or two before serving.

6. Serve and Enjoy:
- Optionally, top with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence.
