Name: Gooey Chocolate Cake Cups For Two In 2 Minutes!
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/4 cups All-purpose Flour; 1/4 cups Sugar; 1/4 cups Cocoa Powder; 1 pinch (generous) Salt; 1/4 cups Milk; 1/4 cups Butter, Melted; 2 whole Large Eggs, Lightly Beaten; 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract; 1/4 cups (Heaping) Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips, Plus A Few More For Sprinkling On Top; Powdered Sugar, If Desired

1
In a small mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Add milk, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Stir well to incorporate. Fold in chocolate chips. Divide batter between 2 microwave-safe cups (my cups hold 6 fluid ounces) and then sprinkle the tops with a few more chocolate chips.
2
Microwave both cups at the same time on high for 2 minutes. The cake will rise up above the cup rim, and then settle back down as it cools. Microwave strength varies, so adjust accordingly. The cakes should be cooked, but very moist, and a bit gooey in the middle.
3
Remove cakes from the microwave when done. Allow cakes to cool for about 15 minutes prior to eating. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
4
These are best when eaten within a few hours of cooking them. As they cool, the chocolate chips will harden, so the cakes will be less gooey. But they're still very, very good.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
