- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp milk
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined and smooth.
- Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the cake is cooked through. Cooking time will vary depending on your microwave’s wattage.
- Let cool slightly before enjoying.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of chocolate chips or a teaspoon of Nutella to the batter before microwaving.
- If you prefer a fudgier texture, reduce the milk to 2 tablespoons.
- Ensure you do not overcook, as this can make the cake rubbery.
