Get a standard microwave-safe mug (10-12 oz capacity) and grease it lightly with cooking spray or a few drops of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
In the mug, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until no lumps remain and the batter is smooth.
Stir in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate for a gooey surprise in every bite.
Place the mug in the microwave and heat on high power for 60-90 seconds. Start with 60 seconds and check. The cake is done when it has risen and the top is set but still slightly gooey. Be careful not to overcook, as it will make the cake dry.
Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes since it will be extremely hot straight out of the microwave.
Enjoy your warm, chocolatey mug cake directly from the mug with a spoon. Optionally, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for extra indulgence!
