Calories: 250kcal
Equipment
- Microwave-safe mug
- Whisk or fork
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips
Instructions
- Start by combining flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a microwave-safe mug. Stir until evenly mixed. The dry mix should look like dark sand. Pro tip: Sift the cocoa powder to avoid lumps.
- Pour in milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the batter is smooth and glossy. The wet ingredients bind everything together, creating a rich texture. Make sure there are no dry spots left at the bottom.
- Stir in chocolate chips for extra gooey goodness. They melt slightly during cooking, adding pockets of melted chocolate throughout the cake. Feel free to add more if you're a true chocoholic.
- Microwave the mug on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes. Watch closely; the cake will rise dramatically. Stop microwaving once it looks set but still soft. Overcooking can make it dry.
- Let the mug cake cool for a minute before digging in. The aroma of chocolate will fill the air, making it hard to wait. Grab a spoon and savor the warm, gooey goodness.
Notes
