Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a large microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until no lumps remain, forming a smooth batter.
If desired, mix in the chocolate chips for extra gooeyness.
Wipe the edges of the mug to remove any batter, ensuring the cake doesn't overflow as it cooks.
Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave, until the cake has risen and set. Avoid overcooking to keep the cake moist.
Allow the mug cake to cool for 1–2 minutes as it will be very hot initially.
Enjoy your chocolate mug cake directly from the mug or transfer it to a plate for serving.
