- Prepare the mug and all the ingredients. Place the butter in the mug and microwave for 15 seconds to melt.
- Add the cocoa powder in the melted butter. Crack the egg in the mug as well. Stir thoroughly with a fork.
- Gradually combine all of the remaining ingredients (exclude the optional walnuts and sour cream) into the mug while stirring. Fold everything together until smooth.
- Microwave for another 2 minutes. Remember to fill only ⅔ of the cup to prevent spilling the batter. Leave in the microwave for 1-1.5 minutes if your available microwave has 1,000+ watts. This will prevent a dry cake outcome.
