Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for sauce)
- 3 tablespoons boiling water
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, mix the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Add the wet ingredients: milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir well until you get a smooth batter with no lumps.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and the additional cocoa powder (for sauce). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the mug.
Carefully pour the boiling water over the back of a spoon onto the top of the mixture. Do not stir; the water will create the sauce layer as it cooks.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes, depending on the power of your microwave. The top should look cooked but still feel slightly soft to the touch.
Let the pudding sit for 1 minute to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve immediately, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
