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

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe mug
  • Whisk or fork
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
