Step 1
Whisk flour, cocoa powder, sugar, egg, and milk in a microwave-safe mug until smooth, no lumps.
Step 2
Microwave the mug on high for 90 seconds. Cake will rise above the rim; center should look set but still moist.
Step 3
Stir chocolate chips into the hot cake until they melt completely and form a fudgy sauce.
Step 4
Let cool 1 minute, then spoon onto a plate. Top with toasted walnuts and cape gooseberries. Serve warm.
