Ingredients
Scale
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mug. Stir until just combined and no dry lumps remain.
If using, stir in the chocolate chips.
Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the cake is set but still slightly gooey in the center. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.
Let it cool for a minute before enjoying directly from the mug.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter.
Be careful not to overcook the cake, as it will become dry.
Add a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
