Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and no dry lumps remain. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. If using, stir in the chocolate chips.
  4. Microwave on high for 70-90 seconds, or until the cake is set but the center is still slightly gooey. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage.
  5. Let the mug cake cool for a minute before enjoying directly from the mug.

Notes

  • For an extra gooey center, undercook slightly.
  • Top with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a special treat.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your microwave. Start with 70 seconds and add 10-second increments if needed.
