Step 1
Combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a 10-ounce microwave-safe mug.
Step 2
Add egg, melted butter, water, and vanilla. Stir until just combined—small lumps are okay.
Step 3
Microwave on high for 90 seconds. The surface should look set but still jiggle slightly.
Step 4
Let cool 1 minute. The interior will be warm and fudgy. Serve from the mug with a spoon.
