Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug (at least 12 oz capacity), combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well with a fork to combine the dry ingredients.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mug. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined and the batter is smooth.
If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for added chocolatey goodness.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 minute. Check if the cake is done by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. If needed, microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the cake cool slightly for 1-2 minutes before enjoying. Serve as is or top with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat!
