Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Stir with a fork or small whisk until well blended.
Step 2
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients in the mug. Mix until smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 3
If desired, stir in the chocolate chips for extra gooeyness.
Step 4
Place the mug in the microwave and heat on high power for 60-90 seconds, depending on the strength of your microwave. Start with 60 seconds and check to see if the cake is set; if not, add 10-second intervals until done. The cake should be firm to the touch but moist inside.
Step 5
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the cake cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Step 6
Enjoy your chocolate cake straight from the mug or with a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat!
