And hot chocolate can be used but preferably cocoa powder and yes you can get away without adding vanilla extract. 
Is there a recipe for chocolate free chocolate cake? I am allergic to chocolate
You think that's bad, i'm allergic to flour...
Is there a recipe for flour free cake?
Having said that I don't like cake anyway so...
It's pretty impressive though, I might send it to my sister, what I lack in cake liking she makes up for!
Cakes are always made with self raising flour and spoon measurements are "rounded" spoons (i.e. essentially the same amount on top as underneath).
If you don't have any self raising flour stick some baking powder in plain flour, or bicarbonate of soda (baking powder is essentially flour and bicarb).

as to those who may not want chocolate...
mix some coffee powder with a little cold water in a second mug, then stir that in instead of the cocoa powder.
pro-tip: when mixing the dry ingredients (flour,sugar,cocoa) make sure they are properly mixed before you add the wet ingredients (really easy to do with a fork)
as for making it in a mug.. hmmm... not enough cake, which is why I tend more towards doubling up the ingredients and use a microwaveable bowl (2 litre type).
As for those that claim the rubbery-taste, that can happen if you have overcooked the cake, as it usually means that it has started to burn

If you didn't want to use a uwave it works with the oven, but just takes a bit longer - but will not be "rubbery"
