- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, ice cream, chocolate chips, or powdered sugar
Instructions:
- Prepare the mug:
- Lightly grease or spray a microwave-safe mug or bowl with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix the dry ingredients:
- In the mug, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
- Add the wet ingredients:
- Stir in the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Mix well until there are no lumps and you have a smooth batter. You can add chocolate chips for extra richness if desired.
- Microwave:
- Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute to 1 minute and 30 seconds, depending on your microwave’s power (start with 1 minute and check). The cake should be set but moist and soft in the center.
