Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
Supporting Ingredients:
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Grab a microwave-safe mug and toss in 4 tablespoons flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, and 1/8 teaspoon baking powder. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly with a fork.
- Pour 3 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract directly into the dry mixture. Whisk until your batter looks completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chocolate chips across the surface of your batter. Gently fold them in so they’re distributed evenly throughout the mixture.
- Place your mug in the microwave and cook at high power for exactly 1 minute and 30 seconds. Watch carefully to ensure the cake doesn’t overflow.
- Remove the mug carefully – it will be extremely hot. Allow your cake to rest for 1 minute so the texture can settle and cool slightly.
- Grab a spoon and dive right into your warm, chocolatey creation. Enjoy directly from the mug for the ultimate quick dessert experience.
Notes
- Mix dry ingredients thoroughly to prevent lumps in your cake’s texture.
- Select a large mug to allow room for the cake to rise without overflowing during microwaving.
- Adjust cooking time based on your microwave’s wattage, checking at 1-minute mark to prevent overcooking.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond or coconut flour, which work beautifully in this quick dessert.
