Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (or oil for a vegan option)
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (plus more for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug (at least 12 ounces), whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, melted butter, and pure vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and no dry flour remains at the bottom of the mug.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if you desire an extra chocolatey crust.
- Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60 to 90 seconds. The cake should rise and be set in the center but still moist. Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow the mug cake to cool for 1 to 2 minutes before eating. You can enhance the experience by topping it with extra chocolate chips, whipped cream, or a scoop of ice cream.
Notes
- Microwave times may vary, so keep an eye on the cake to avoid overcooking and drying it out.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and substitute melted butter with oil.
- The mug should be at least 12 ounces to prevent batter from spilling over during cooking.
- Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
