Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 pinch pinch of salt
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for sauce)
• 3 tablespoons boiling water

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, mix the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Add the wet ingredients: milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir well until you get a smooth batter with no lumps.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and the additional cocoa powder (for sauce). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the mug.

Step 4

Carefully pour the boiling water over the back of a spoon onto the top of the mixture. Do not stir; the water will create the sauce layer as it cooks.

Step 5

Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes, depending on the power of your microwave. The top should look cooked but still feel slightly soft to the touch.

Step 6

Let the pudding sit for 1 minute to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Serve immediately, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
