1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon chocolate chips
1 tablespoon powdered sugar for dusting

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a medium mug, combine flour, cocoa powder, white sugar, baking powder and salt.
2Mix well with a fork until all ingredients are evenly distributed and no lumps remain.
3The mixture should look dry and crumbly.
4Add milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients.
5Stir until the mixture is smooth and there are no visible lumps.
6The batter should be thick and pourable.
7Add the chocolate chips, stir until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8Microwave the mug on high for 45-60 seconds.
9The cake should rise slightly and the top should be set.
10If the cake is still liquid in the center, microwave for an additional 15-30 seconds.
11Be careful not to overcook, as the cake can become rubbery.
12Let the cake cool in the mug for 1-2 minutes.
13This allows the cake to set and makes it easier to handle.
14After cooling, dust the cake with powdered sugar.
15Serve immediately and enjoy your quick and delicious treat.
