1

Gather Your Ingredients

First, ensure you have all the necessary ingredients. You'll need: butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips, sugar, eggs, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt.

2

Prepare Your Microwave-Safe Mugs

Grease the insides of two microwave-safe mugs with a little butter or cooking spray. This will prevent the cake from sticking.

3

Melt the Chocolate and Butter

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together. Do this by microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring in between each interval until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.

4

Mix in the Sugar, Eggs, and Salt

Add the sugar, eggs, and a pinch of salt to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir well until all the ingredients are combined and the batter is smooth.

5

Fold in the Flour

Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough cake.

6

Divide the Batter and Microwave

Pour the batter equally into the prepared mugs. Place one mug in the microwave at a time and cook on high power for about 50-60 seconds. Keep a close eye on the cake to ensure it doesn't overflow.

7

Serve and Enjoy

Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (remember, it will be hot!) and let it cool for a few moments. You can enjoy the molten lava cake right in the mug or gently slide it onto a plate for a more elegant presentation. Grab a spoon and indulge in the warm, chocolatey goodness!
