Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings 1 large egg ¼ cup white sugar 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 2 tablespoons butter, melted 1 tablespoon vegetable oil ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract 1 pinch salt 2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds 1 ½ tablespoons miniature semisweet chocolate chips 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut 3 tablespoons milk ¼ cup all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon baking powder ¼ teaspoon confectioners' sugar ¼ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, or as needed Directions Whisk egg, sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, butter, vegetable oil, vanilla, and salt together in a bowl until smooth. Stir almonds, chocolate chips, and coconut into the mixture; whisk in milk. Place flour into a small bowl or measuring cup and stir baking powder into flour with a mini whisk or fork. Pour flour mixture over batter and whisk just until you can't see visible flour. Divide batter evenly between 2 coffee cups. Gently tap the cups on a work surface to eliminate air bubbles. Place cups into a microwave oven, one at a time. Microwave each cup on high for 45 seconds. Nothing will happen in the first 30 seconds; in the last 10 to 15 seconds, batter will begin to rise in the cup. Cooked cake will collapse after microwaving. Remove from oven and let cool, 2 to 3 minutes. Lightly dust each serving with confectioners' sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cocoa. Place each coffee cup onto a saucer and serve. Chef John Tips To toast sliced almonds, place them into a dry skillet over medium heat and shake the skillet constantly until almonds are golden brown and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from skillet and let cool. I Made It Print 330 home cooks made it!
