Combine Dry Ingredients
Add the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder to a microwaveable coffee mug. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Incorporate Wet Ingredients
Crack the egg into the mug and mix thoroughly with the dry ingredients. Pour in the milk and oil, stirring until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Add Flavor Enhancements
If desired, stir in the chocolate chips and add a splash of vanilla extract to the batter. Mix again to evenly distribute the added ingredients.
Microwave the Cake
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. During cooking, the cake will rise over the top of the mug—don't be alarmed, this is normal.
Cool and Enjoy
Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before eating. You can enjoy it straight from the mug or tip it out onto a plate if you prefer. Enjoy your quick and delicious chocolate treat!
