Chocolate (chips) and nuts for filling
Instructions
If you combine ingredients straight in a cup, I found that it is sufficient to add liquids first. In this way, no flour no cocoa will stick to the bottom. Pour milk and oil into the cup.
Now, add all the dry ingredients one after another. To get the muffin fluffier try sifting them through a sieve. First to go is baking powder, then flour, and finally cocoa powder.
Finally, add sugar.
Give the mixture a nice stir until smooth and well combined.
If you want to add some crunchiness to the dessert, now will be a perfect time to throw some chocolate chips and nuts of your choice. Mine always will be walnuts as their extinct taste complements the chocolate perfectly. Mix the content of the cup one more time.
All microwaves are different and can have different maximum capacities and power levels. For a microwave with 800 watts as 100% power, the cooking time of cake in a cup will be around two minutes. I would highly advise you to set the timer for 1 minute first. Check the muffin if the top is still sticky add another 30 seconds; check once again and add 30 seconds more if necessary. If you overcook the cake, it will lose its moist and tender texture.
Let the microwave mug cake cool down a bit before serving! Sprinkle some icing sugar over the top. You also can have it with fresh berries, whipped cream, and even ice cream. Enjoy your dessert!
