Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons (30g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) milk
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. In a large microwave-safe mug, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. Add milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the mug. Stir well with a fork until a smooth batter forms. Scrape down the sides of the mug.
  3. Gently press the chocolate chips into the center of the batter. Make sure they're nestled down a bit but not touching the bottom of the mug.
  4. Microwave on high for 1 minute 15 seconds. Check for doneness. Microwave in 15-second increments until desired consistency is reached, but be careful not to overcook.
  5. Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before digging in.
