Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Microwave Safe Dish
Start by greasing a microwave-safe dish or mug with a little oil or butter. Ensure that it is evenly coated to prevent the cake from sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk them together until thoroughly mixed.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix them until well combined.
Step 4: Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Step 5: Add the Chocolate
If desired, fold in some chocolate chips or chunks into the batter for an extra chocolaty flavor.
Step 6: Pour into the Dish
Transfer the batter into the prepared microwave-safe dish. Ensure it is filled only halfway to allow for rising.
Step 7: Microwave Cooking
Microwave on high for about 1 to 1.5 minutes. Keep an eye on it to ensure it does not overflow. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 8: Let It Cool
Once cooked, let the cake cool in the dish for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set further.
