chocolate mug cake

Just going to leave this here. ¼ cup all-purpose flour (I only had whole wheat and it turned out fine) 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder ¼ tsp. baking powder 2 tbsp. granulated sugar (you can add 1 tbsp. more if you like it a bit sweeter) ⅛ tsp. salt ¼ cup + 1 tbsp. milk 2 tbsp. vegetable oil 1 tbsp. hazelnut chocolate spread (I didn't have this and threw in a handful of chocolate chips instead) In a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Whisk in the milk and vegetable oil until all ingredients are combined and batter has no clumps. Pour batter into a microwave-safe mug. Mine was a 14-ounce mug. You want enough head space for the cake to rise without pouring over. Add 1 tbsp. of hazelnut chocolate spread in the middle of the batter. Just drop it in the middle, no need to push it down and sink it in the batter. (or stir in chocolate chips.) Place a paper towel into the microwave and set the mug on top (this is to catch any batter if your mug cake overflows
