Ingredients
  

  • 4 all-purpose flour sifted
  • chocolate chips optional
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar or to taste
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder sift with flour
  • 3 tbsp milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe mug large

Method
 

  1. Add the flour, sugar, and cocoa powder to a microwave-safe mug and stir to combine.
  2. Pour in the milk and vegetable oil and stir until smooth with no lumps.
  3. Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, until the cake is set on top.
  4. Let cool for a minute, then enjoy straight from the mug.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips or add a small pinch of salt to the dry mix.
Microwaves vary, so start with 1 minute and add more time as needed until the cake is set on top.
Serve warm for the best texture, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream if you like.
