2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

- In a mug large enough to hold the cake batter, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the dry mixture in the mug.Â
Stir well with a fork or spoon until the dough is well combined and there are no more lumps. - If you want to add chopped chocolate or chocolate chips for an extra kick of flavor, mix them into the batter.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes.Â
Baking time may vary depending on the power of your microwave, so be careful not to overcook the cake. - Carefully remove the mug from the microwave as it will be hot.Â
Let the cake cool down a bit before eating. - You can eat the mug cake directly from the mug, or turn it out onto a plate if you prefer.Â
If you wish, you can also add extra toppings such as chocolate sauce, whipped cream or ice cream.
