Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon molasses
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon semisweet chocolate chips (plus more for garnish)

Instruction

  • In a bowl or a glass measuring cup with a pour spout, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir together with a fork using the tines to break up any lumps of brown sugar. Add the oil, water, molasses, and extract. Stir together until smooth. Stir in 1 tablespoon semisweet chips.
  • Pour the batter into an 8 oz. (1 cup capacity) microwave-safe mug. Use a rubber spatula to effectively scrape all of the batter into the mug. Add a few more semisweet chips on top of the batter, if desired.
  • Microwave at 100% power for 45-50 seconds, or until the cake is well-puffed. Let stand for 2 minutes. A toothpick tester should come out without any uncooked batter clinging to it. Serve warm.
