Ingredients
Scale
1/4 cup 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 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined and smooth.
If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the cake is cooked through. The time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage.
Let it cool slightly before enjoying directly from the mug.
Notes
For a fudgier cake, undercook slightly.
Add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence.
Experiment with add-ins like a spoonful of peanut butter or a few raspberries.
