How to Make Chocolate Mug Cake

  1. Add 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt to a large mug. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Crack in 1 large egg and mix thoroughly until no streaks of egg remain.
  3. Stir in 3 tablespoons milk, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in 1-2 tablespoons chocolate chips.
  5. Microwave on high (1000 watts) for 3 minutes. The cake will rise above the rim of the mug – that's perfectly normal!
  6. Let the cake cool slightly before enjoying. A scoop of ice cream is optional but highly recommended!
