Step 1
Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a microwave-safe bowl.
Step 2
Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir until just combined—batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 3
Divide batter among four microwave-safe mugs or ramekins (fill each halfway).
Step 4
Microwave each mug on high for 60–90 seconds. Cake should look set on top but still jiggly in the center.
Step 5
Let cool for 1 minute. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, then serve warm with a spoon.
