Whether you're a seasoned chef or a kitchen novice, this quick and easy recipe is perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings.

Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- A pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- A drop of vanilla extract
- A dollop of whipped cream
- A sprinkle of chocolate chips
- A scoop of ice cream (for a real treat!)
Instructions
- Start by picking a microwave-safe mug. Make sure it's big enough to prevent spillage, but not too big; a standard coffee mug is usually perfect.
- In your chosen mug, add the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until they're well combined.
- Next, add the milk, vegetable oil, and a drop of vanilla extract to your mug. Mix everything together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. This is where the magic begins!
- Pop your mug in the microwave and set it to cook for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Cooking times may vary, so keep an eye on your cake. It should rise and firm up.
- Once your cake is done, carefully take it out of the microwave. Caution: it's going to be hot! Let it cool for a minute or two.
- If you're feeling extra indulgent, add some whipped cream, chocolate chips, or a scoop of ice cream on top of your cake.
