Ingredients
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon chocolate chips
Instructions
Whisk flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large microwave-safe mug.
Add milk, oil, and vanilla; stir until the batter looks smooth and glossy.
Fold in chocolate chips for a gooey center.
Microwave on high for 70–90 seconds until the top is just set and the center remains moist.
Let rest for 30 seconds before eating.
Top with whipped cream, ice cream, or drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired.
Notes
Start checking the mug cake at 70 seconds to avoid overcooking.
Add a teaspoon of Nutella in the center before microwaving for an extra fudgy core.
For a healthier option, replace oil with applesauce and use oat flour instead of all-purpose.
