90 Second Chocolate Lava Cake Ingredients

Chocolate cake mix: For the base of this simple chocolate cake, you will need ½ cup of a packaged cake mix, any variety will do. Because you only need half a cup to make each mini cake, you can save the rest for another day when the sweet craving strikes again.

Water: Adding in ⅓ cup of water will create just the right cake batter consistency that will result in a perfect cake texture.

Hot fudge topping: Use 2 tablespoons of hot fudge topping for the lava part of this cake recipe. You can use any brand you prefer or have on hand, I personally like Hershey’s the best. Buy a jar and keep it in the fridge, each jar will make multiple lava cakes.

How to make Individual Molten Lava Cakes

In a microwave safe cereal sized bowl, mix the cake mix and water together. If you want each individual cake to look a little fancier, you can use a ramekin.

Then, use a spoon to add the hot fudge to the middle of the cake batter in the bowl. Do not heat the fudge up or mix it in, just drop it right in the middle, straight out of the jar.

Proceed to microwave the bowl for 90 seconds.

Serve the cake immediately, top with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or strawberries if you’d like, and enjoy!

Can you microwave more than one mug cake at a time?

You probably can microwave 2 or 3 cakes together, but for best results, just make one at a time. They only take 90 seconds, so you won’t have to wait that long for everyone in the family to get their own!

How long do 90 second mug cakes last?

These tasty treats are made to be enjoyed immediately, they only take 90 seconds so there is no reason to make them ahead of time. But with that said, they would last 1-2 days if stored in an airtight container.
