Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe mug (10-12 ounces), combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly with a fork or small whisk to remove any lumps.
Step 2
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and stir until a smooth batter is formed. Make sure to mix all the way to the bottom of the mug to incorporate any dry ingredients.
Step 3
If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter for added richness.
Step 4
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60-90 seconds, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Check the cake after 60 seconds; it should be set on top but still moist. Avoid overcooking to prevent dryness.
Step 5
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot) and let the cake cool for 1-2 minutes before eating.
Step 6
Enjoy your Two Minute Chocolate Cake directly from the mug with a spoon, or top it with whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for extra decadence.
