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
- 0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe mug, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no clumps.
Step 2

Step 3
If you like, stir in chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey treat.
Step 4
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds. The cake should rise and be set but slightly gooey in the center.

Let the mug cake cool for a minute before enjoying. Be careful as the mug will be hot.
Step 6
Optionally, top with a scoop of ice cream, powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream for serving.
