Add the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt to a coffee mug and mix together.
Add the soy milk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix it up into a smooth batter. Stir well, making sure the flour at the bottom of the mug is properly mixed in, but don't overmix.
Add the vegan chocolate chips and fold them into the batter.
Bake in the microwave on high for 90 seconds.* (See Notes)
Let it cool for a few minutes and then add a few more vegan chocolate chips to the top and a dollop of vegan whipped cream (optional).

Gluten-free. If you want to make this mug cake gluten-free you can use gluten-free all purpose flour instead of the regular flour, in the same quantity.
Cooking times. Microwaves vary and if you have a much more powerful microwave than mine, you might be able to cook it for a shorter time. We made this in a 900 watt microwave and 90 seconds was perfect. However, if your microwave is more powerful it will be ready in a shorter time and if it's less powerful it will need longer. This microwave calculator can help you figure it out based on the watts of your microwave.
Under-baking is better than over-baking. It's best to err on the side of under-baking rather than over-baking this mug cake. If it's under-baked you can always put it back in for a little longer.
Nutritional information is for the mug cake only and doesn't include any vegan cream or ice cream that you may serve it with.
