Instructions

Mix dry ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Add wet ingredients: Pour in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the batter is just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the cake.
Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Microwave cooking: Microwave the mug on high for 60 to 75 seconds, or until the cake rises and the center is just set but still moist.
Cool and serve: Let the mug cake cool for 1 to 2 minutes to allow it to set slightly before enjoying. Optionally, top with extra chocolate chips or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent touch.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake texture light and tender.
For extra gooeyness, press a few extra chocolate chips into the top of the batter before microwaving.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a quick dessert upgrade.
