Rich cocoa powder gives this single-serving cake its deep, fudgy flavor, and a quick stir of flour and baking powder is all it takes to build a batter with real structure. Whisk in the egg, milk, and oil, and in under two minutes in the microwave you've got a warm, tender crumb with a center that stays soft and just-set. It's a genuinely fast fix for a chocolate craving, no oven or mixing bowls required. This one is a great option to keep on hand for an added sugar kitchen, since the whole thing comes together in one mug with almost no cleanup. Fold in a few chocolate chips right before microwaving for pockets of melty richness throughout, then let it rest a minute so the center firms up before you dig in with a spoon.
