Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional for chocolate version)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit for mix-ins
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder (if using), baking powder, and salt. Stir well.
- Add the wet ingredients: Pour in the milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined. Add chocolate chips or other mix-ins if desired.
- Microwave: Cook on high for 60-90 seconds — the cake should rise and set but still be moist. Adjust time based on your microwave’s power.
- Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean (or with a few moist crumbs), it’s ready.
- Cool and serve: Let it cool for a minute or two before digging in. Top with whipped cream, powdered sugar, or even a scoop of ice cream if you’re feeling indulgent.
