Ingredients
  

For the Cake Base
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour can swap with almond flour for gluten-free
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder no substitutes recommended
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder essential for fluffiness
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar can replace with coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil use coconut oil for a different flavor
For the Wet Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons milk substitutable with plant-based milk for vegan

For the Gooey Center
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (dark and milk) use 70% dark or vegan chocolate

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a microwave-safe mug, add 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Whisk these together until evenly combined.
  2. Pour in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 3 tablespoons of milk, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Combine gently until no dry flour remains.
  3. Fold in 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  4. Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Check cake texture; if too wet, microwave in additional 5-second increments until fluffy with a gooey center.
  5. Remove the mug and let the cake cool for about 1 minute to enhance the gooeyness.
  6. Enjoy your warm cake directly from the mug, optionally topped with ice cream or whipped cream.
