Mug Cake Preparation

Step 1: Mixing Dry Ingredients [00:15]

In a large microwave-safe mug, add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 2: Adding Wet Ingredients [02:01]

Add the vanilla extract, milk, and vegetable oil to the mug. Stir the mixture well, making sure to scrape the bottom to remove any clumps of flour.

Step 3: Optional Add-in [03:14]

Stir in the chocolate chips. You can optionally omit these or add a spoonful of peanut butter, caramel, cream cheese, or Nutella if preferred.

Step 4: First Microwave Session [03:41]

Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60 seconds.

Step 5: Final touch and second session [04:02]

Sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips on top of the cake (optional). Microwave in 10-second increments until the cake is firm and the center is dry and puffed.
