Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature. Select a microwave-safe mug with at least 12 ounces capacity to prevent overflow during cooking.
- In the mug, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Use a small whisk or fork to blend the dry ingredients thoroughly, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir carefully with a fork or small whisk until the batter is smooth and no dry streaks are visible.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly across the top of the batter. Do not stir them in, as they will naturally sink during cooking and create a molten chocolate center.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 60-75 seconds. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on microwave wattage, so watch carefully to prevent overcooking.
- Remove the mug carefully using oven mitts, as it will be extremely hot. Allow the cake to rest for 1-2 minutes to complete cooking and set slightly.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving. Enjoy immediately while the chocolate center remains warm and gooey.
Tips
- • Use a large microwave-safe mug (at least 12 ounces) to prevent messy overflow • Sift dry ingredients to ensure a smooth, lump-free batter • Don't overmix the batter - stop stirring as soon as ingredients are just combined • Microwave power varies, so start with 60 seconds and add 10-15 seconds if needed • Let the cake rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking - it continues to set during this time • For an extra indulgent touch, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce • Experiment with mix-ins like peanut butter chips or a sprinkle of sea salt for unique variations • Serve immediately while the chocolate center is still warm and gooey for maximum deliciousness
