Step 3: Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Mix the dry ingredients
In a large microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
Step 2: Add the wet ingredients
Pour in the milk, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Stir well until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Step 3: Add your chocolate surprise (optional)
For a melty center, drop a few chocolate chips or a square of chocolate into the middle of the batter — don’t stir it in; just let it sink slightly.
Step 4: Microwave the magic
Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds (depending on your microwave’s power). Watch closely — it should rise and look set on top but still moist inside.
Step 5: Cool and enjoy
Let the mug cake cool for about a minute — it’ll be hot! Then grab a spoon and dive into your warm, gooey masterpiece. Add whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for extra decadence.
