Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug or bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth and slightly thin. This step ensures a moist cake.
If using, fold in the chocolate chips for extra chocolatey goodness.
Microwave the mixture on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave's wattage. The cake should look set on top and spring back when touched lightly.
Let the cake cool for 1-2 minutes before serving. Enjoy it directly from the mug or transfer it onto a plate for presentation.
