RECIPE INGREDIENTS

» For 2 Minute Chocolate Orange Cake

• 4 tablespoons all-purpose or whole wheat flour
• 4 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or olive oil
• 3 1/2 tablespoons of sugar or maple syrup or your favorite sweetener
• 4 fresh oranges to make juice
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• Handful of dark chocolate or chocolate chips

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How to Make Chocolate Orange Mug Cake

1. Slice oranges and juice using a citrus juicer. Keep it aside.
2. Also, zest 1 orange using a grater and set it aside.
3. In a microwave-safe casserole, mug, or bowl, combine the all-purpose or whole wheat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar (adjusting the sweetness according to your taste), baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Whisk all the dry ingredients well.
4. Now, add the melted coconut oil or olive oil to the dry ingredients. Then add about 6 tablespoons of orange juice and 1 teaspoon of orange zest for a burst of fresh citrus flavor.
5. Whisk well to make a smooth and lump-free batter. If your batter seems too thick, add about 2 more tablespoons of orange juice. Wipe off the edges and gently tap the pan.
6. Top the batter with a handful of dark chocolate or chocolate chips for that decadent chocolatey texture. Microwave the batter on high for 2 minutes or until the cake rises and sets. You can adjust the microwaving time based on your microwave wattage. Carefully remove the casserole or bowl from the microwave and let the cake cool for 4-5 minutes.
7. This cake is best when served warm, with its moist and rich texture. Garnish the cake with orange slices and enjoy your homemade 2-Minute Chocolate Orange Cake warm straight from the casserole or mug. You can also decorate the cake with chocolate frosting, dusting sugar, or even with a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra indulgence.

RECIPE NOTES

1. To achieve the perfectly moist, soft, and fluffy cake, make sure that your batter is slightly thick.
2. To microwave it perfectly, ensure that you microwave it for 2 minutes initially and then cook it for additional time. It appears to be undercooked.
