Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp instant coffee granules
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips, optional

Method
 

  1. In a 10-ounce microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, instant coffee, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain.
  2. Pour in the milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir with a fork just until smooth, then fold in the chocolate chips if using. Do not overmix.
  3. Microwave on high for 60 seconds. If the center still appears wet, add 10 to 15 seconds. Let the mug cake rest for 1 minute, then serve warm straight from the mug.

Notes

Let the cake cool for a minute or two before eating. It will be molten hot right out of the microwave and sets up slightly as it sits.
