Ingredients

1. All purpose flour/Maida - 1 cup

2. Milk - 1 cup

3. Refined Sugar - 1.5 cups

4. Cooking Oil - 2 to 3 tea spoons

5. Butter - 1/4 cup

Procedure:

1. In a wide bowl, pour the milk and add sugar in it. Mix until all the sugar is dissolved completely in the milk.

2. In a sieve, add the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and sift them together till there are no lumps.

3. Add this flour mixture to the milk, oil, butter and mix well using a whisk, till the cake mixture is smooth, fluffy and has no lumps.

4. Apply butter inside a microwave safe bowl, spread the chocolate chunks and nuts all over the bottom. Now pour the cake mixture in it till about 1/2 full. Gently tap the bowl to ensure that the air bubbles trapped inside the cake mixture raises and get removed from the top.

5. Cook this cake mixture in the Microwave over for 6 minutes.

Then stop the oven , check whether the cake mixture is raising and then cook for another 4 to 5 minutes checking intermittently at 1 minute intervals till it is fully cooked and raised at the top.

Insert a knife/tooth pick through the center of the cake and it should come out clean without the mixture sticking to its surface.
