Ingredients
Ingredients
butter (room_temperature)
1 tablespoon
white sugar
1 tablespoon
brown sugar
1 tablespoon
egg yolk
1 piece
vanilla extract
0.5 teaspoon
plain flour
2 heaped tablespoon
chocolate chips
1 tablespoon
Instructions
Melt the butter
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a microwave-safe mug or small glass bowl. Microwave the butter for about 20 seconds, then stir until it is fully melted.
Add sugars
Add 1 tablespoon of white sugar and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to the melted butter. Mix them together until everything is well combined.
Add egg yolk and vanilla
Add 1 egg yolk and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, then mix again until the mixture looks smooth and glossy.
Add flour
Add 2 heaped tablespoons of plain flour. Stir until the flour is fully incorporated and a thick cookie-like batter forms. Try not to overmix it; just stir until you no longer see dry flour.
Add chocolate chips
Add 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips and gently fold them into the batter. Once they are mixed through, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips over the top for pools of melted chocolate.
Microwave the mug cake
Microwave the mug cake at around 500W for 40–50 seconds. Start checking it at 40 seconds. The top should look set, but the center should still be soft. Avoid overcooking.
Rest and serve
Let it sit for a minute after microwaving because the bowl and the chocolate can be very hot. Then grab a spoon and enjoy it warm.
