4/18/23, 11:25 PM Easy Chocolate Mug Cake - Tastes Better from Scratch

3 Tbsp all-purpose flour

2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon baking powder
dash salt
3 tablespoons milk (any kind of milk)
1 tablespoons canola oil (or melted butter)
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tsp chocolate chips , or your favorite flavor baking chips

Instructions  
1. Spray the bottom of a microwave-safe mug or coffee cup  lightly with
cooking spray.

Add flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt and stir together.

2. Add milk, canola oil, and vanilla extract and stir until smooth, being sure to
scrape the bottom of the mug. Stir in chocolate chips or sprinkle them on
top.

3. Cook in microwave for 70-90 seconds (see note) until cake is just set, but
still barely shiny on top. (see notes below). Allow to rest in microwave for 1
minute before consuming.

Notes
*Because all microwaves are different, it’s difficult to give a precise cook time. 
Start with 70 seconds, wait 1 minute while it cools, then look to see if it is set.

Add an additional 15-25 seconds if needed. Allow it to rest in the microwave
for 1 minute. The trick with mug cakes is to stop cooking the cake earlier than
you think, because you want it to be soft on the inside, and the cake will also
continue to cook as it cools.
