 Ingredients

You probably have all these ingredients in your kitchen already! Here's what you'll need:

• 4 tbsp all-purpose flour

• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1/4 tsp baking powder

Instructions

1. Grab a Microwave-Safe Mug
   Use a large mug (10–12 oz) to avoid overflow.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
   Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt to the mug. Mix with a fork until combined.

3. Add the Wet Ingredients
   Pour in the milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

4. Add Chocolate Chips (Optional)
   Drop them on top or mix them into the batter for a gooey texture.

5. Microwave for 60–90 Seconds
   Microwave on high for 1 minute. Check the center with a toothpick — if it comes out clean, it’s done! If not, microwave for another 10–20 seconds.

6. Let it Cool for 1–2 Minutes
   The cake will be hot. Let it rest before digging in!
