Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: chocolate chips, nuts, or a dollop of peanut butter
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth. If you like, fold in some chocolate chips or nuts.
- Microwave: Microwave on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the strength of your microwave. Start with 1 minute and 30 seconds and check for doneness. The cake should look set but still slightly moist on top.
- Optional Additions: For extra indulgence, you can add a dollop of peanut butter or more chocolate chips to the center of the batter before microwaving.
- Cool Slightly: Let the cake cool for a minute or two before digging in, as it will be very hot.
Enjoy your quick and delightful cake!
