Step 1

Put 3 tablespoons of butter in a large mug. Melt in the microwave for about 20 seconds.

Step 2

Add in 3 tablespoons of sugar, 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa, and a nice big pinch of salt.

Step 3

Mix well. Should start to get nice and chocolaty.

Step 4

Add in 3 tablespoons of milk, 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. Stir until you get a nice, smooth batter.

Step 5

Place 1oz of your favorite Chocolate on top of the batter.

Step 6

Pour a tablespoon of water over the center (covering the chocolate). This will give your chocolate mug cake that delicious, melted center.

Step 7

Pop it into the microwave for about 1 minute and 20 seconds. This can vary depending on the power of your microwave. Start with 60 seconds and check your cake. The top should still be a little sticky, but fully set.

Step 8

Top with powdered sugar, whip cream, vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, chocolate chips, or any other favorite toppings.

Step 9

Enjoy!
