A quick and indulgent chocolate mug cake made with Baileys Irish Cream and just five pantry staples, perfect for a solo treat or last-minute dessert craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • Chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure 4 tablespoons (30 g) of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons (15 g) cocoa powder, 3 tablespoons (38 g) sugar, 3 tablespoons (45 ml) Baileys Irish Cream, and 1 large egg (about 50 g). Ensure the egg is at room temperature.
  2. In a microwave-safe mug, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt if using to avoid lumps.
  3. Crack the egg into the mug, then pour in the Baileys. Stir vigorously with a fork or small whisk until smooth and glossy, about 30 seconds.
  4. Optionally, add a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts and stir gently.
  5. Microwave on high for 90 seconds. Start checking at 1 minute 20 seconds. The cake should rise and spring back lightly when touched.
  6. Let the mug cake rest for 1-2 minutes before eating to allow the texture to set.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender. Microwave power varies; adjust cooking time as needed. For a fudgy center, add a square of chocolate or Nutella before microwaving. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour but expect a different texture and longer cooking time.
