Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Gluten-free chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a standard microwave-safe mug, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
Step 2
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well with a fork or small whisk until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 3
If desired, sprinkle gluten-free chocolate chips over the top of the mixture and gently push them slightly into the batter with the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Start with 90 seconds and check for doneness; the cake is ready when it has risen and the center is firm but slightly moist.
Step 5
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the cake cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy straight from the mug or with a scoop of your favorite gluten-free ice cream!
