Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe mug (at least 12 ounces in capacity), whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
Add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mug. Stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 3
If desired, gently stir in the chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate flavor.
Step 4
Microwave the mug on high power for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave's wattage. The cake is done when the top looks set and lightly springs back when touched.
Step 5
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave—it will be hot! Allow the cake to cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying directly from the mug or transferring to a plate.
