  • Pure Decadence: ๐Ÿซ That warm, gooey chocolate center is pure heaven in every spoon!

​Ingredients You'll Need: ๐Ÿ›’

  • All-Purpose Flour: 3 tbsp ๐ŸŒพ
  • Sugar: 2 tbsp ๐Ÿฌ
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: 1 tbsp ๐Ÿซ
  • Baking Powder: 1/4 tsp ๐Ÿงช
  • Pinch of Salt: ๐Ÿง‚
  • Milk: 3 tbsp ๐Ÿฅ›
  • Melted Butter or Oil: 1 tbsp ๐Ÿงˆ
  • Vanilla Extract: 1/2 tsp ๐Ÿฆ
  • Dark Chocolate Squares: 2-3 pieces ๐Ÿซ (or 1 tbsp chocolate chips for the molten center)
  • Optional Toppings: Powdered sugar ๐Ÿจ, vanilla ice cream, or fresh berries ๐Ÿ“

​Step-by-Step Instructions: ๐Ÿณ

1. MIX DRY INGREDIENTS ๐Ÿฅฃ

In a microwave-safe ceramic mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

2. ADD WETS & WHISK ๐Ÿฅ›

Pour in the milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract. Whisk gently with a fork until you get a smooth, lump-free chocolate batter.

3. ADD CHOCOLATE CORE ๐Ÿซ

Drop the chocolate squares (or chocolate chips) directly into the center of the batter. Gently push them down into the middle—don't mix them into the batter completely, as this creates the oozing lava center!

4. MICROWAVE & DEVOUR ✨

Microwave on high for 60 to 70 seconds (do not overcook, or it will lose its molten center!). Let it cool for 1 minute, dust with powdered sugar or top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and dig in while warm! ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ”ฅ
