Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  2. Add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  3. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  4. Microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes until the cake rises and is set on top.
  5. Let cool for 1 minute before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overcook to avoid a rubbery texture.
  • Substitute milk with plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Use melted butter or coconut oil instead of vegetable oil if preferred.
  • Add peanut butter or hazelnut spread in the center for a molten effect.
  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to 1 day.
