Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug (10-12 ounces), combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly with a fork or small whisk to remove any lumps.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and stir until a smooth batter is formed. Make sure to mix all the way to the bottom of the mug to incorporate any dry ingredients.
If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter for added richness.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60-90 seconds, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Check the cake after 60 seconds; it should be set on top but still moist. Avoid overcooking to prevent dryness.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot) and let the cake cool for 1-2 minutes before eating.
Enjoy your Two Minute Chocolate Cake directly from the mug with a spoon, or top it with whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for extra decadence.
