Steps

1 hour

1

Heat up your oven to the highest setting. My oven is a gas oven with two burners (one at the top and the other at the bottom). I turn up both to get the maximum temperature
2

Lightly grease inside your mugs with oil and coat with flour
3

Sift the dry ingredients separately: flour, cocoa powder, salt, milk powder and baking powder
4

Whisk the liquid ingredients (coconut oil, eggs, vanilla and liquidmilk) on the highest speed for 2 minutes
5

Add the sugar and whisk on the highest speed for an additional 5 minutes
6

Add the dry ingredients in 2 batches. Whisk for 1 minute on low-medium setting (per batch) to combine or until you get a smooth/lump-less runny batter
7

Finish up with a spatula ensuring the dry ingredients are full combined; to avoid over-mixing the batter
8

Transfer to your greased mugs. Don't fill to the brim; give room for the cake to rise, as you'll see below. I filled mine half-way. Tap to release air pockets
9

Bake for 5 minutes then reduce your oven heat to the lowest temperature. I turned off my top burner to avoid it over-baking the top
10

By 10 minutes, the cake should have begun to rise 😄 Can you see it? I was tempted to open the oven 🤤 but I didn't 😏
11

Peek the difference in sizes. Both are 20 minutes apart
12

After reducing the temperature, bake for 25 - 30 minutes
13

Use a toothpick/cutlery to check if it's ready. It's ready if the toothpick comes out clean
14

Let it cool in the mug for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack
15

There you have it: A butter-less moist chocolate MUG-cake. Enjoy 🤤 I sliced it and "buttered" it with my homemade nutella. Oh yum!!!
