Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe mug (at least 12 oz in size), whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir well with a fork until the batter is smooth. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the mug to incorporate all the dry ingredients.
Step 3
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, evenly distributing them throughout the batter.
Step 4
Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and is set in the middle. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave's wattage.
Step 5
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!), and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Optional: Dust the top of the mug cake with powdered sugar before serving, or enjoy it as is. For an extra indulgent twist, top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
