Step 1
Whisk flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and pinch of salt in a bowl until smooth.
Step 2
Crack eggs into the bowl and stir until no lumps remain — batter should look fudgy.
Step 3
Divide batter between four microwave-safe mugs, filling each about halfway.
Step 4
Drop a few pieces of chopped chocolate into the center of each mug, then top with remaining batter.
Step 5
Microwave each mug on high 90–120 seconds until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
Step 6
Top with fresh strawberry slices, chocolate shards, and a scatter of toasted nuts. Serve immediately.
