Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 packet hot cocoa mix (about 3 tbsp)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp semisweet chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. In a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, hot cocoa mix, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain.
  2. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla, then stir until you have a smooth, glossy batter, scraping the sides. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Microwave on high for 60 to 75 seconds, until the top is set but the center still looks slightly soft and moist.
  4. Let the mug cool for 2 minutes, then top with whipped cream, cocoa powder, or extra chocolate chips and serve warm.

Notes

This cake is best eaten right away. The 2-minute rest after microwaving is important; the inside will be hot enough to burn your tongue if you dig in immediately.
