Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (canola or sunflower oil)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon melted chocolate
Instructions
- Measure all dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, salt) directly into a microwave-safe mug.
- Stir thoroughly with a spoon or fork until evenly combined and no lumps remain.
- Add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mug and stir gently until smooth and thick but pourable.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips into the batter and swirl in melted chocolate if using.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute 45 seconds to 2 minutes, watching to avoid overflow and overcooking.
- Check doneness by lightly touching the top; it should spring back and not feel wet or gooey.
- If undercooked, microwave in additional 10-second bursts until done.
- Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes before eating.
Notes
Use a larger mug to avoid overflow. Stir batter well to avoid clumps. Adjust microwave time based on your oven’s power. Let cake rest before eating. Optional melted chocolate enhances richness. For a gooey center, reduce cooking time slightly.
