Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon butter melted
  • 5 Tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 heaping tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips divided

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
  • Pour half of batter into greased mug.
  • Top with 1 tablespoon chocolate chips.
  • Pour remaining batter into mug.
  • Top with remaining chocolate chips.
  • Microwave on high for 90 seconds.
  • Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  1. Proper Mixing: Ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed to create a smooth and consistent batter. Pay attention to incorporating the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt) evenly with the wet ingredients (butter, milk, and vanilla extract). This helps prevent lumps in the batter and ensures a uniform texture in the finished cake.
  2. Layering Technique: Layering the chocolate chips within the mug cake batter provides pockets of melted chocolate throughout the cake, enhancing its richness and flavor. By dividing the chocolate chips and placing them both between layers of batter and on top, you ensure a delicious chocolatey experience in every bite.
  3. Microwave Timing: Microwaves vary in power, so it's essential to monitor the cooking time closely. Overcooking the mug cake can result in a dry and tough texture, while undercooking may leave the center raw. Start with the recommended 90 seconds on high power, and adjust as needed based on your microwave's wattage and the desired level of doneness. Allow the mug cake to rest for a brief moment after cooking to finish setting before indulging in its warm, chocolatey goodness.
