Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (or vegetable oil)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips (more if desired)
Instructions
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add the Wet Ingredients:
- Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mug with the dry ingredients. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Add the Chocolate Chips:
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Microwave the Cake:
- Microwave on high for 1 minute and 15 seconds. (Microwave times may vary, so start checking around 1 minute to ensure it doesn’t overflow or become overcooked.)
- The cake should look set and firm in the center. If it’s not fully cooked, continue microwaving in 10-second intervals.
- Serve:
- Let the cake cool slightly before enjoying! Top with extra chocolate chips, whipped cream, or a scoop of ice cream if desired.
Notes
- If you don’t have chocolate chips, you can use chopped chocolate or even peanut butter chips.
- For a richer flavor, add a spoonful of nut butter, like peanut or almond butter, into the batter before microwaving.
- You can double the recipe to make two servings, but be sure to microwave in separate mugs.
