Step 1
Mix flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, and a pinch of salt in a microwave-safe mug or ramekin.
Step 2
Stir in milk and melted butter until smooth batter forms, breaking up lumps.
Step 3
Microwave the mug on high for 2 minutes. Top should look set but still jiggly underneath.
Step 4
While cake cools, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until fluffy, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Once cake cools slightly, turn it out onto a plate and slice it horizontally into two layers.
Step 6
Spread frosting on bottom layer, stack second layer on top, and drizzle hot fudge over the whole cake.
