Ingredients
30g (1/4 cup) plain flour
50g (1/4 cup) caster sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch of salt
60ml (1/4 cup) milk (I used soy milk)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (anything with no strong flavour will work - I used sunflower)
a dash of vanilla extract
1 tablespoon semi-sweet chocolate chips (or more if your hand slips!)
ice cream to serve (I'd recommend vanilla)
Instructions
- Add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder and salt to the mug and stir well, breaking up any lumps as you go. A fork may work better than a spoon.
- Add the milk, oil and vanilla to the mug and stir well until everything is well combined.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips on the surface of the mixture.
- Place in the microwave and cook on HIGH for around 1 minute - you want the centre to remain a bit gooey and you may need to experiment to get the timing right for your own microwave. Mine is 1200 watts and 1 minute works perfectly.
- Serve with ice cream - vanilla seems to be the favourite for us - and eat IMMEDIATELY!
Notes
- Use a regular size mug (my favourite is 350ml, which leaves space for ice cream). Nothing fancy required.
- Serve with ice cream - vanilla is recommended.
- Eat immediately!
