Ingredients (1 serving):
· 4 tbsp plain flour
· 2 tbsp sugar
· 2 tbsp cocoa powder
· 1/4 tsp baking powder
· Pinch of salt
· 3 tbsp milk
· 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter)
· 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
· 1–2 tbsp chocolate chips (optional, but worth it!)
Method:
1. In a microwave-safe mug, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until combined.
2. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth with no lumps.
3. Stir in chocolate chips if using.
4. Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds (start with 60 and add more time if needed). The cake should rise and look set but still soft.
5. Let it cool for a minute (it’ll be hot!), then enjoy straight from the mug.
