Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a microwave-safe mug. Stir well to mix dry ingredients.

Notes

  • For an extra rich flavor, use whole milk.
  • Watch the cake closely while microwaving; it cooks fast.
  • If you do not have mini marshmallows, you can sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top instead.
  • This cake is best eaten immediately while warm.
