Egg-less Chocolate cake in a Mug

I used to make this Egg-less chocolate cake many times during my pregnancy, since I had a craving for it. I made this whenever I wanted, even in the middle of night and enjoyed it. It takes less than 5 minutes to prepare. It does not require an oven, but a microwave instead. This is a mug cake, hence the ingredients listed are for only one serving.
