DIRECTIONS

  1. Take a medium-size bowl. Add all dry ingredients in it. Mix all ingredients well with a whisk or spoon.
  2. Put milk and oil in dry mix. Whisk it so that all ingredients combine well and there remain no clumps in the batter. Take a microwave safe cup, while selecting cup make sure it has enough head space so that cake does not pour over during baking.
  3. Put Chocolate chip in the center of the cup. You are using chocolate coated nuts, do the same with this as well. No need to push chip, it will immerse automatically once, it will begin to cook.

  1. Place a paper towel on a microwave plate and keep the mug at the top. This will firmly hold the cup at its position during baking as well as to catch batter falling down from the cup.
