Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 3 tbsp All-Purpose Flour also known as maida
- 1/2 tbsp Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 1/8 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Milk condensed milk recommended for richer flavor, but regular milk works too.

- 3 tbsp Milk
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
Mix-ins

Instructions
Combine Dry Ingredients

Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry

Microwave

Cool and Enjoy

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, use condensed milk instead of regular milk.
- If using a conventional oven, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with moist crumbs.
- Experiment with different mix-ins! Nuts, peanut butter chips, or even fresh berries would be delicious additions.
- Adjust the cooking time depending on your microwave's power. It's better to start with shorter bursts and add more time as needed to prevent overcooking. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
