Step 1: Melt Chocolate & Butter
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, melt chocolate + butter in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
Stir in sugar, milk, and vanilla (if using).
Add flour, baking powder, and salt—mix until just combined (don’t overmix!).
Fold in extra chocolate chunks (because more chocolate = better!).
Step 3: Microwave & Enjoy!
Microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds (adjust based on wattage).
Check at 1 min—if still wet, add 10-15 sec bursts.
Let sit 1 minute (it keeps cooking!).
Eat straight from the mug or flip onto a plate!
