Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons white vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon vegan chocolate chips or nuts (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl (at least 8-ounce capacity), mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the mug to incorporate all the flour.
If using vegan chocolate chips or nuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Place the mug in the microwave and heat on high for 90 seconds. Check the cake; if the top is still wet, microwave in additional 10-second increments until the cake has set but remains slightly gooey in the center.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot), and let the cake cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying. Optionally, top with powdered sugar, vegan whipped cream, or a drizzle of nut butter.
