Ingredients
  

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

4 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1/8 teaspoon baking powder

A pinch of salt

3 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: 2 tablespoons chocolate chips or nuts

Instructions
 

In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

    Add in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until you have a smooth batter with no lumps. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts for an extra treat.

      Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds. (Microwave times may vary, so start checking around the 1-minute mark. The cake should rise and look set.)

        Remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!) and let it cool for a minute. Optional: Top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or a scoop of ice cream.

          Enjoy your deliciously quick chocolate mug cake straight from the mug!
