Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Instant coffee granules
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, instant coffee granules, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a fork or small whisk until smooth and free of lumps.
If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave's wattage. The cake is done when it rises and sets but is still slightly moist on top.
Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying. You can top it with whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra indulgence!
