Public Recipe
In a large, microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
💡 Tip: Ensuring dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed prevents pockets of unmixed flour or cocoa.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract to the mug. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
💡 Tip: For a molten lava center, push a few chocolate chips down into the batter before microwaving.
Microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the cake is set but still slightly moist in the center. Cooking time will vary depending on microwave wattage.
💡 Tip: Start with the lower end of the cooking time and add 15-second increments as needed to avoid overcooking.
Let stand for 1 minute before enjoying directly from the mug.
