Directions

Take a large microwave-safe mug and add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.

Pour in the milk and oil and stir well until the batter is smooth.

Press the two chocolate squares into the center of the batter, pushing them down slightly.

Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds, depending on your microwave's power, until the cake is set but still soft in the middle.
