Ingredients

4 tablespoons flour
5 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder (I used 1/2 tsp and it turned out fine)
1/2 teaspoon instant coffee powder (optional)
1 pinch salt
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips
1 drop vanilla extract

Method

Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Pour in the milk, oil, vanilla extract and egg, then stir everything together thoroughly.
Divide the batter between two mugs, filling each only to the halfway point.
Microwave the mugs one at a time. Heat for 1 minute on medium. The cake will bubble and rise during cooking. Let it sit briefly, then microwave for a further 30 seconds on medium. The mixture will set but remain slightly molten, as it will carry on cooking from residual heat. Avoid overcooking.
Let the cakes cool slightly before serving.
