Chocolate Mug Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large microwave-safe mug, add the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.

2. 2

   Add the egg, low-fat milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mug. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.

3. 3

   Use a spatula or spoon to scrape down the sides of the mug and ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

4. 4

   Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and is set in the center. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.

5. 5

   Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Allow the cake to cool for a minute or two before enjoying directly from the mug.
