An easy chocolate mug cake recipe that comes together in less than 15 minutes. My family loves this gooey chocolate treat!

Ingredients

¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 big pinches Morton kosher salt
¼ cup milk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips, plus 2 teaspoons to sprinkle over batter (I use Ghirardelli Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips)

Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
Add milk, butter, and vanilla. Stir well to incorporate.
Stir in 1/4 cup of the mini chocolate chips. Then divide batter between 2 microwave-safe cups (my cup holds 6 fluid ounces). Sprinkle the top of each cup of batter with an additional 1 teaspoon of mini chocolate chips.
Microwave both cups at the same time on high power for 2 minutes. Microwave strength varies, so adjust accordingly. The cakes should be cooked, but very moist, and a bit gooey in the middle. If you like your cake extra soft and gooey, cook for a bit less time. Allow cakes to cool for about 10 minutes prior to eating.
These are best when eaten within an hour or two of making them. As they cool, the chocolate chips will harden, so the cakes will be less gooey. But they're still very good. ;)

Notes

To store: These mini mug cakes keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend letting them come back to room temperature before serving. You can freeze the baked and cooled chocolate mug cakes for up to 2 months. Thaw them at room temperature when a craving strikes!
