Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

  1. Whisk the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt together in a microwave-safe mug.
  2. Stir in the milk and oil until the batter is smooth with no dry pockets.
  3. Microwave on high for 60 to 75 seconds, just until the top looks set but the center is still soft.
  4. Let it cool for a minute so the molten middle settles, then eat warm.

Notes

Pull it early; an extra ten seconds turns fudgy into rubbery fast.
