Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Whole milk
- 2.5 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture, and stir until a smooth batter forms, ensuring there are no lumps.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently into the batter with a spoon.
Microwave the mug on high power for 60-80 seconds, or until the cake has risen and is set in the middle. Be careful not to overcook as the cake will continue to cook slightly after microwaving.
Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes before serving. Optionally, top with whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy immediately!
