Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a 10-ounce microwave-safe mug.

  2. Step 2

    Add egg, melted butter, water, and vanilla. Stir until just combined—small lumps are okay.

  3. Step 3

    Microwave on high for 90 seconds. The surface should look set but still jiggle slightly.

  4. Step 4

    Let cool 1 minute. The interior will be warm and fudgy. Serve from the mug with a spoon.

Tools you’ll need

  • 10-ounce microwave-safe mug
  • spoon for stirring
