Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (or oil)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug (at least 8 oz), whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until you form a smooth batter, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter so they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Microwave cooking: Microwave the mug on high power for 60 to 90 seconds until the top is set but still slightly soft in the center. Avoid overcooking to keep a moist texture.
- Cool and serve: Let the mug cake cool for 1 to 2 minutes before enjoying. Eat directly from the mug with a spoon.
Notes
- For a gooey center, undercook the cake slightly by reducing microwave time.
- Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
- Use dairy-free milk and vegan butter to make a plant-based version of this dessert.
