INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoon (2 tablespoon) self-rising flour
2 teaspoon (2 teaspoon) sugar
3 teaspoon (3 teaspoon) cocoa powder
⅛ teaspoon (⅛ teaspoon) salt
1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) avocado oil or vegetable oil
2 tablespoon (2 tablespoon) milk
1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) vanilla
2 tablespoon (2 tablespoon) chocolate chips divided
15 g (½ oz) chocolate use your favorite type

Garnish

1 tablespoon (1 tablespoon) cream
1 tablespoon (1 tablespoon) chocolate sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the oil, milk, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon (12 g) of the chocolate chips to the bowl. Mix until the batter is smooth.
Pour half of the batter into a microwave-safe mug. Place the chocolate pieces in the center of the batter, then pour the remaining batter over the top.
Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of chocolate chips on top.
Microwave the mug on high for 40 seconds. The cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's wattage; this recipe uses an 1100W microwave.
Serve warm or let cool slightly. Add a dollop of cream and drizzle with chocolate sauce, or enjoy it plain.

NOTES

Microwave Wattage: Adjust the cooking time based on your microwave wattage. Start with 30 seconds and add more time if needed.
Chocolate Selection: Use chocolate you enjoy eating, as it will greatly affect the cake’s flavor.
Mix Thoroughly: Mix all dry ingredients well to avoid clumps.
Texture Check: For a gooey texture, reduce cooking time by a few seconds.
Mug Size: Use a mug with at least 300 ml (10 oz) capacity to prevent overflow.
