Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons boiling water
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and granulated sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until a smooth batter forms, ensuring no lumps remain.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the surface of the batter. Do not mix it in; this will help create the sauce during cooking.
Slowly pour the boiling water over the top of the batter. Again, do not mix it, as this helps create the self-saucing effect.
Place the mug or bowl in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The pudding should rise and look firm on the top with a bubbling sauce underneath. The cooking time may vary depending on the power of your microwave.
Carefully remove the mug or bowl from the microwave, as it will be hot. Let it cool slightly for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Serve immediately on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
