Dry Ingredients
- 4 tbsp all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tbsp low fat milk
- 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
Add-ins
- 2 tbsp semisweet chocolate chips
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Combine all ingredients except the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe 8 oz mug. Use a small, sturdy whisk to mix until a smooth batter forms with no lumps. The batter should fit just to the top of the mug when cooked.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Stir half of the semisweet chocolate chips into the batter and sprinkle the remaining chips over the surface for a gooey topping.
- Microwave Cooking: Cook the mug cake in the microwave on high for about 1 minute. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on microwave wattage.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool for a few minutes before eating to allow it to set and to avoid burning your mouth from the hot chocolate and cake.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe mug about 8 oz in size to prevent overflow and ensure proper cooking.
- You can substitute brown sugar with white sugar if preferred, but brown sugar adds moisture and caramel flavor.
- Adjust microwave time slightly if your appliance has higher or lower wattage.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or soy milk and use a suitable oil.
- The cake is best enjoyed immediately after cooling as it tends to dry out if left too long.
