A quick and easy microwavable chocolate cake for when you need a chocolate fix.

Ingredients
 

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup whole milk (60 ml)
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup self-rising flour (40 grams)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (10 grams)
  • ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (43 grams)

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, milk, egg and vanilla. Add the flour, sugar, and cocoa and whisk to combine.
  • Divide the chocolate chips between two medium microwave-safe mugs. Pour batter into the mugs over the chocolate chips.
