- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoon butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 egg
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 ounce semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
- 1 teaspoon water
In a 10-ounce ramekin or microwave-safe mug, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and stir together with a fork.
Add in the melted butter, milk, egg and vanilla. Stir well to fully combine.
Drop the chocolate chips in the center of the mug. Don’t push them down.
Drizzle the water on top of the batter.
Microwave on full power for 65 seconds
Cool for 5 minutes before eating.
- To half the egg, just whisk it in a bowl and scoop out roughly half of it with a measuring spoon. It doesn't have to be exact.
- Timing will vary according to your microwave, so you'll have to experiment until you find your perfect cooking duration. If the center still looks raw, give it another 5 to 10 seconds.
- The cake will fall slightly after it comes out of the microwave. Don’t overbake to ensure the interior stays molten.
