Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1.5 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon milk to adjust consistency
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Add the butter to a microwave-safe mug and microwave for 20-30 seconds until fully melted.
- Add both sugars, vanilla extract, and egg yolk to the mug. Stir well with a spoon until fully combined.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Add to the mug and stir until just combined and smooth.
- Pour in the milk to adjust thickness and stir gently. The batter should be thick but pourable.
- Microwave on high for 90 seconds. Check for doneness; if still undercooked, 15-second intervals until done. Be careful not to overcook.
- Let cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying directly from the mug.
Notes
For an extra decadent treat, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 24 hours.
