It’s That Simple is our series about recipes so easy, you can make them with your eyes closed. Think tiny ingredient lists, laid-back techniques, and results so delicious you’ll text home about them.

Having a good, reliable mug cake recipe memorized should be considered an essential life skill. Imagine all the ways your life could be improved by this almost-instant dessert: PMS? Mug cake. Impromptu celebration? Mug cake. Rough breakup? Mug cake. Netflix and chill? Mug cake. Late-night chocolate craving? Mug cake. Successful potty training session? Mug cake. Stirring a handful of ingredients in a big coffee mug and microwaving it, only to have actual cake in under 5 minutes, is a modern miracle we should all celebrate.

A few things to keep in mind: Make sure your mug is at least 12 oz. to allow the cake batter to rise—no one’s here for mug cake overflow. Also, note that this cake is cooked at 50% power, which helps ensure even cooking. This easy recipe was tested in a 1200W microwave; cooking times may vary based on your microwave’s power output.

With a flavor that lies somewhere between a warm brownie and chocolate birthday cake, this single-serve chocolate mug cake recipe is also adaptable. The cake mix itself is dairy-free, and you could use a gluten-free flour blend in place of the all-purpose flour if you’re feeding someone with a sweet tooth and a gluten allergy. You should also feel empowered to dress it up in whatever way suits the occasion. It’s rich and fudgy, making it the perfect base for a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. A spoonful of Nutella or peanut butter melting on top, or a dusting of powdered sugar wouldn’t be remiss either.
