Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon chocolate chips*

Instructions

  • Put 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips in the bottom of a standard-size mug. 
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt) until no lumps remain. Add the oil and milk and stir until smooth.

Notes

*This recipe has been modified slightly since it was originally published in 2018 to decrease the flour from 3 to 4 tablespoons, and to add an extra tablespoon of chocolate chips to the raspberry layer. I find these changes make for a moister result.
I know many enjoyed the original version, so I wanted to highlight this in case you prefer to make it the old way!
