Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no clumps.
Add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients in the mug. Stir until smooth and shiny, making sure to scrape the edges of the mug for any flour mixture.
If you like, stir in chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey treat.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds. The cake should rise and be set but slightly gooey in the center.
Let the mug cake cool for a minute before enjoying. Be careful as the mug will be hot.
Optionally, top with a scoop of ice cream, powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream for serving.
