Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
  • Pinch of salt optional

Method
 

  1. In a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder until well combined.
  2. Add milk and oil, stirring until just mixed (a few small lumps are okay).
  3. Fold in chocolate chips, reserving a few for the top if desired.
  4. Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds (start checking at 60 seconds - cake should look set but slightly moist in center).
  5. Let cool 1 minute before enjoying warm. Top with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

For vegan version: use plant-based milk and dairy-free chocolate chips. For gluten-free: use 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Microwave times may vary based on wattage.
