Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 2 tablespoons chocolate chips or nuts
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well with a fork until there are no lumps.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts.
- Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave, so check for doneness. The cake should rise and look set in the middle.
