Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by placing 2 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe mug. Heat for about 20-30 seconds until fully melted. Let cool slightly.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of water, 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Sprinkle in 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Mix until no lumps remain.
Fold in chocolate chips if desired. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
Microwave on high for 30-40 seconds. Check for doneness as microwaves vary in power. The center should be slightly gooey.
Allow the mug cake to cool for a minute or two before serving.
