Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Whole milk
- 2.5 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture, and stir until a smooth batter forms, ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 3
Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently into the batter with a spoon.
Step 4
Microwave the mug on high power for 60-80 seconds, or until the cake has risen and is set in the middle. Be careful not to overcook as the cake will continue to cook slightly after microwaving.
