Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp salted butter
  • 1 Tsp. vanilla
  • 2 Tbsp. milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour I use Bob's Red Mill Organic All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tsp. baking powder
  • 2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
  • 1 Tsp. instant espresso powder
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chunks

Instructions

  • In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the butter.
  • Add the vanilla, milk and egg to the butter and whisk to combine.
  • Stir in the sugar, flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and espresso powder.
  • Divide the batter between two 8 ounce mugs filling no more than halfway in each mug. (overfilling will result in a huge mess.)
  • Sprinkle the batter with chocolate chunks.
  • Place the mugs in the microwave and bake at full power for 1 minute 30 seconds. The cake should spring back when pressed lightly with your finger. If the cake is undercooked, cook for an additional 15 seconds until cooked through.
  • Top with whipped cream and sprinkles if desired.
