Rich cocoa powder and melty chocolate chips give this single-serving cake serious deep, fudgy flavor without any fuss — just stir everything together in a mug and let the microwave do the work. The batter comes together in under two minutes, puffing up into a warm, tender cake with a soft, just-set center that's begging for a spoon. Vanilla extract rounds out the sweetness, while a pinch of salt keeps the cocoa from tasting flat. It's the kind of impulsive, one-mug dessert you can make whenever a chocolate craving hits, and it's a solid pick for a gluten free treat since there's no baking know-how or special equipment required. Let it rest that one minute before diving in — the center firms up just enough to hold a spoon without falling apart.
