Ingredients

all purpose flour
garnulated sugar
cocoa powder
baking powder
salt
milk
vegetable oil
vanilla extract

Instructions

Lightly grease the inside of a microwave-safe mug to prevent sticking.
In the mug, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Add the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract to the mug. Mix until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps.
If desired, fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or sprinkles to add extra flavor and texture to the cake.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1-2 minutes. The cooking time can vary based on your microwave's wattage. The cake should rise and become firm to the touch.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the mug cake cool for a minute before digging in. You can enjoy it straight from the mug or gently slide it onto a plate.
Feel free to add a dollop of whipped cream, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgent touch.
