Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons (30 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (25 grams) sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) milk, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (30 grams) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. In your mug, add 4 tablespoons (30 g) of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons (25 g) sugar, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir with a spoon or fork until well mixed.
  2. Pour in 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of milk, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Gently mix in 2 tablespoons (30 g) of chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  4. Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Start checking at 1 minute 30 seconds to avoid overcooking.
  5. Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes before eating.

Notes

Use a microwave-safe mug that holds at least 12 ounces to prevent overflow. Stir batter well to avoid flour pockets. Start checking the cake at 1 minute 30 seconds to avoid overcooking and rubbery texture. For dairy-free, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use dairy-free chocolate chips. Gluten-free flour blend can replace all-purpose flour with slight texture change. Customize with cinnamon, nuts, or peanut butter for flavor variations.
