Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/8 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp whole milk
  • 2 tbsp neutral vegetable oil
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp semisweet chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. In a 12-oz microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until lump-free.
  2. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir until smooth, then fold in the chocolate chips, keeping a few to place on top.
  3. Microwave on high for 60 to 75 seconds until the top looks set but still slightly glossy in the center. Let the cake rest for 1 minute, then serve warm straight from the mug.

Notes

Best eaten right after it cools for a minute so the center doesn't cook too far. If you swap in gluten-free flour, use a blend designed for cup-for-cup baking; the texture may be a little grainier but still works.
