2 Minute Chocolate Microwave Mug Cake

Not all microwave mug cakes are created equal.  This is hands down our favorite.  Delicious with a scoop of ice-cream.  It is pretty rich--so we usually split one mug between 2-3 people.  Adapted from Mel's Kitchen Cafe.

INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 egg
3 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil, or half and half)
2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon nutella or peanut butter (slightly warm or melted is ideal)
Dash of vanilla and salt

DIRECTIONS:
Spray a mug with nonstick spray. Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl, pour into a mug. Microwave the cake on high until puffed about 2 minutes (watch closely because microwaves can vary in strength).   Err on the side of under-microwaving slightly and serve immediately since the texture gets a bit spongy as it cools.
