Decadent Microwave Chocolate Mug Cake

Ingredients

- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons dairy-free chocolate chips
- A pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons almond milk

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Mug:
- Choose a microwave-safe mug that holds at least 12 ounces. This provides sufficient space for the cake to rise.
- Lightly grease the inside of the mug with coconut oil to prevent sticking.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt until thoroughly combined and free of lumps.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- To the dry mixture, add 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (melt it if solidified), 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 3 tablespoons of almond milk.
- Stir thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter with a uniform consistency.

4. Incorporate Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of dairy-free chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.

5. Microwave Cooking:
- Pour the batter into your prepared mug.
- Microwave on high for approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds. Start checking at 1 minute and add additional 10-second intervals if necessary, until the cake has risen and is set but still moist in the center.
- Be cautious not to overcook; microwaves can vary, and time may need to be adjusted slightly.

6. Cool & Serve:
- Allow the mug cake to cool for a minute or two before digging in. This helps the flavors meld and prevents burns.
- Enjoy as is, or serve with a scoop of your favorite dairy-free ice cream for added indulgence.
