Step 1
Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and sugar in a small bowl until no lumps remain.
Step 2
Beat the egg with a fork, then fold into the dry mix until a smooth batter forms.
Step 3
Divide batter between 4 microwave-safe mugs or small ramekins, filling each halfway.
Step 4
Microwave each mug on high for 90 seconds — the top should look set but the center soft.
Step 5
Heat 2 tbsp cream with 3 tbsp butter and half the chocolate chips in a small saucepan until glossy, 2 minutes.
Step 6
Pour the warm ganache sauce over each cake, top with remaining chips and a chocolate truffle, serve immediately.
