1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 2 Tablespoons sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add the wet ingredients to the mug with the dry ingredients. Mix again until smooth.
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 3 Tablespoons milk, 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 large egg
Top with chocolate chunks.
2 ounces dark chocolate chunks
Microwave on high for 1 minute. (See notes.)
For an extra-indulgent dessert, replace the chocolate chunks with a square of dark chocolate instead.
Baking times may vary, depending on the microwave. If the mug cake is still gooey after 1 minute, microwave it for an additional 30 seconds.
Be careful not to overbake your cake! If left in the microwave too long, it will become dry and rubbery.
