In a microwave bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Add the egg, milk, and vegetable oil and stir well until smooth.
Optionally, add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter and gently fold them in.
Place the bowl in the microwave and bake on high for about 3-4 minutes. The exact time may vary depending on the microwave, so it’s a good idea to check frequently to see if the cake is done.
Once the cake is done, carefully remove it from the microwave and let it cool briefly.
Dust the cake with powdered sugar or garnish with glaze, if desired.
