- 2
Add the water, oil, cocoa powder, and sugar. Stir vigorously until everything is fully combined into a smooth, liquid batter.

Gradually sift in the flour and baking powder, stirring gently after each addition until you have a lump-free batter.

Microwave on full power for 2 minutes 30 seconds to 3 minutes, adjusting for your microwave's wattage. The cake should rise and be set in the center. Allow to cool for one minute, then enjoy straight from the mug!
💡 Chef's Tip
Stir a small handful of chocolate chips into the batter before microwaving for a molten center. A drop of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon takes the flavor to the next level.
