Step 1
In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
Add the milk, vegetable oil, instant coffee granules, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a fork or small whisk until smooth and free of lumps.
