Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chocolate chips or nuts
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts for added texture.
- Place the mug in the center of the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 1 minute and 45 seconds, or until the cake has risen and is firm to the touch. Be cautious not to overcook, as this can lead to a rubbery texture.
- Allow the cake to cool for 2-3 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- For a healthier alternative, substitute 1 ½ tablespoons of unsweetened applesauce for the vegetable oil.
- To enhance the chewiness, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the batter.
