By making this individual mug cake, you can have dessert without having to whip out a counter's worth of baking tools. With a few pantry essentials, it's easy to make a delicious chocolate-coconut batter and "cook" it in the microwave. Your treat will literally be ready in minutes.

1 egg
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon oil
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons shredded coconut

Gather the ingredients.

The Spruce
Prepare one microwavable 16-ounce mug by coating the inside lightly with cooking spray.

The Spruce
Mix the ingredients in a small bowl. Beat the egg first with a spoon and mix in other liquid ingredients.

The Spruce
Add dry ingredients and mix until you've removed all the lumps.

The Spruce
Pour the batter into the mug (do not fill more than halfway) and smoothe the top with a spoon.

The Spruce
Thump mug firmly on the tabletop six times to remove excess air bubbles.
Place the mug on top of a microwavable small plate or saucer.
Microwave for 3 to 4 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the middle of the microwave mug cake and removing the toothpick. If the toothpick is dry, the microwave mug cake is done.

The Spruce
Wait 2 minutes, then run a butter knife along the inside the mug, and tip the cake into the plate. Position the mug cake so that the slightly rounded top is on top. Your microwave mug cake will now look like a slightly overgrown muffin.

Serve and enjoy!
