Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, add the flour, sugar, and chocolate chips. Stir them lightly to distribute the chocolate chips evenly within the dry ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk and vegetable oil. Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth, lump-free batter homogeneous throughout the mug.
- Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 70 to 90 seconds. The cake should rise and be firm to the touch but still moist inside. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave’s power.
- Cool Slightly and Serve: Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before enjoying it directly from the mug. Be careful as it will be hot.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe mug to avoid any accidents.
- Adjust microwave time based on wattage; undercooking can leave the center raw, overcooking can dry it out.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Try adding a pinch of salt or a dash of vanilla extract for extra flavor complexity.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or soy milk.
