Step 1
Mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a small bowl until combined.
Step 2
Stir in oil and milk until smooth batter forms with no lumps.
Step 3
Divide batter into two microwave-safe mugs, filling each halfway.
Step 4
Microwave each mug on high for 90 seconds. Centers should look underbaked and fudgy.
Step 5
Heat heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan over low until melted and smooth.
Step 6
Remove from heat, add 3 tbsp cocoa powder and 0.25 cup powdered sugar, stir until glossy.
Step 7
Let cakes cool 2 minutes, then invert onto plates. Spread warm frosting between and on top.
