Directions

1. Assemble all the ingredients. Preheat air fryer at 170C or 340F for 5 minutes.
2. Take a nice oven safe ceramic or metal mug. Add in the dry ingredients � 3 tbsp. self-rising or raising flour with 1.5 tbsp. sugar and 1 tbsp. cocoa powder. Mix with a fork. Add sugar depending upon how sweet your chocolate chips are. Also, I prefer lower sugar.
3. Add in 2 tbsp. vegetable oil and 3.5 tbsp. almond milk (or any other plant-based milk or dairy milk) along with � tsp. Vanilla essence. Mix well till you have mixed the cake mix uniformly.
4. If sugar granules are not fully dissolved, it is fine. Now add 1 tbsp. dark chocolate chips and lightly mix with a fork.
5. That�s it. I made two mug cakes together. You can store one in the fridge and have later as well. My cheat for a few days later.
6. Place them in air fryer basket and turn on the air fryer. You will take about 14-16 minutes at 170C or 340F. After 12 minutes, poke with a toothpick to check.
7. If it comes out wet or with crumbs, then increase the air frying time by 2 minutes and check again. The cake is cooked when the toothpick comes out clean.
8. That�s it, your chocolate mug cake in air fryer is done. Take out the mugs carefully using oven mitts. Then let them cool down enough for about 5-10 minutes.
9. Enjoy as it is or with nice cream.
