Steps

1 minute

1

In a mug, melt the butter. (If using chocolate chips, melt it with the butter and do everything else the same but omit the cocoa powder.)
2

Add in the cocoa powder to the hot butter and mix with a fork till there are no more lumps. (This is called blooming and is done to intensify the flavour of the cocoa powder.)
3

Next, add in the sugar and mix again then the milk. Mix everything together.
4

Add in the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly till everything is well combined and a smooth batter forms.
5

Microwave the mug cake for about a minute or at most 1 minute 10 seconds, depending on how fudgy you like it.
6

Serve warm with or without chocolate syrup. My previous mug cake can be cooled and frosted and still tastes amazing but this one is best eaten warm. Enjoy!
