Additional Ingredients:

Instructions
- Prepare a microwave-safe mug by thoroughly mixing flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain.
- Create a smooth batter by incorporating milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, ensuring complete integration of all liquid ingredients.

- Position the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds, carefully monitoring the cooking process.
