Equipment

Ingredients

3 tablespoons vegetable oil (45 ml) or canola
3 tablespoons sugar (38 grams)
1 large egg yolk or substitute for 1 extra tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons milk (30 ml)
3 tablespoons flour (23 grams)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder (5 grams)
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon chocolate chips (11 grams)

Instructions

In a large mug, whisk together the oil, sugar, egg yolk and milk.
Whisk in the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Microwave for 90 seconds on medium power (do not use high power). Check the mug cake to see if the top looks set. If the top isn't set yet, microwave for an additional 30 seconds on medium power. Repeat this process until the top of the cake looks set. Be careful removing the mug from the microwave, as it will be hot.
Let cool for 1 minute before enjoying.

Notes

Choosing a Mug: I highly recommend choosing a mug that is wide, as opposed to tall and skinny.
Nutrition: Details provided are an estimate only and based on the entire chocolate mug cake with chocolate chips, but without any ice cream.
