Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

2 tablespoons milk, dairy or nondairy works

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

pinch of salt

3-4 tablespoons all-purpose flour*

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method

Add the butter to an 8-ounce microwave-safe mug and microwave for about 30 seconds, or until mostly melted.

Stir in the milk, brown sugar, vanilla and salt until combined.

Stir in the flour, baking powder and most of the chocolate chips until combined.

Sprinkle the top with the remaining chocolate chips. Microwave on high for 1 minute and 25 seconds.

Let cool for about 5 minutes before enjoying. I love this served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Notes

I usually use 4 tablespoons (or 1/4 cup) of all-purpose flour for this mug cake, but if you prefer a moister texture, try 3 tablespoons instead—it still works beautifully! Just note that with less flour, the cake will be a bit smaller.

Please note that all microwaves are different, so they can yield different results and may overcook this mug cake if you aren’t careful. When trying this recipe for the first time, consider starting with a 60-70 second cooking time at 100% power. When done, the cake will puff up and appear dry.
