This single-serving cake is made with pantry staples and cooked in the microwave, so you don’t need to heat up the oven.

Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons milk (any kind)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. Add in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for extra gooeyness.
  4. Microwave the mug on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the cake has risen and is set in the center. Start checking at the 60-second mark to prevent overcooking, as microwave times may vary.
  5. Allow the cake to cool for a minute or two, and enjoy it straight from the mug!

Feel free to top with whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence!
