Directions
Step 1
In a large microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until no lumps remain, forming a smooth batter.
Step 3
If desired, mix in the chocolate chips for extra gooeyness.
Step 4
Wipe the edges of the mug to remove any batter, ensuring the cake doesn't overflow as it cooks.
Step 5
Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave, until the cake has risen and set. Avoid overcooking to keep the cake moist.
Step 6
Allow the mug cake to cool for 1–2 minutes as it will be very hot initially.

Enjoy your chocolate mug cake directly from the mug or transfer it to a plate for serving.
