Step 1
Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt in a microwave-safe mug.

Add egg, milk, and melted butter. Stir until just combined—batter should be thick and smooth.
Step 3
Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds until the top is set but the center still jiggles slightly.
Step 4
Let cool 1 minute. Top with whipped cream, ice cream, or chocolate chips if desired.
