🍳 Instructions
🧁 Microwave Version:
- In a large microwave-safe mug or small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
- Add milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and lump-free.
- (Optional) Drop a spoonful of Nutella or caramel in the center for a gooey surprise.
- Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute 20 seconds to 1 minute 40 seconds (depending on your microwave).
- Let it cool slightly — it will be hot! Then top with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or ice cream.
🍰 Stovetop Version:
- Pour the batter into a heatproof cup or ramekin.
- Place it in a pot with a bit of water (like a mini water bath).
- Cover and steam on low heat for 10 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
🍫 Topping Ideas
- Dust with powdered sugar
- Drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel
- Add whipped cream and berries
- Sprinkle with crushed nuts or coconut
💡 Tips
- For a vanilla version: skip the cocoa and add 1 extra tablespoon flour.
- Want it extra moist? Add 1 teaspoon of yogurt or sour cream to the batter.
- For a coffee kick, mix in ½ teaspoon instant espresso powder! ☕
