Step 1
Divide flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder between two microwave-safe mugs.
Step 2
Pour milk into a small bowl, add butter and vanilla, then stir until butter is mostly melted.
Step 3
Pour wet mixture into each mug and stir until just combined—batter should look thick and fudgy.
Step 4
Microwave each mug on high for 60 seconds. Centers will jiggle slightly—that's perfect.
Step 5
Let rest 1 minute, then top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired and serve.
