  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grab a microwave-safe mug and add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well combined.
  2. Pour in the milk, and add the oil and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until you have a smooth batter.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
Cooking
  1. Pop the mug in the microwave. Cook it on high for about 40 to 60 seconds, watching carefully to avoid overcooking.
  2. The cake is ready when it has risen and looks lightly domed. Let it cool for a minute before indulging.
Serving

  2. Options to elevate the dish include a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
