In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until smooth and no lumps remain.
If desired, stir in chocolate chips for extra gooeyness.
Microwave the mixture on high power for 35 seconds. Check the cake; it should be set but soft in the center. If needed, microwave for an additional 5-10 seconds, being careful not to overcook it.
Let the cake cool for 1-2 minutes before digging in. Enjoy directly from the mug or transfer it to a plate!
