How to Make Emergency Chocolate Cake

  1. Grease a large microwave-safe mug (approximately 12 oz).
  2. In the mug, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined – don't overmix.
  4. Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the cake is cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance.
  5. Let the cake cool slightly before enjoying. Top with ice cream, whipped cream, or chocolate chips (optional).
