Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
200g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/2 cup walnuts
120g
2 eggs
100g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dry Mix:
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together 1 cup of sugar, 1/3 cup of dry cocoa powder, and 1 cup of self-raising flour. Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture.
2. Add the Nuts:
- Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. Mixing the walnuts with the dry ingredients will help them distribute evenly in the cake.
3. Combine the Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk 2 eggs. Then add 3/4 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Mix until well combined.
4. Incorporate Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently until all the ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth. Avoid over-mixing.
5. Prepare a Microwave-Safe Dish:
- Grease a microwave-safe dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with a bit of butter or non-stick spray.
6. Microwave the Batter:
- Pour the batter into the greased dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Place in the microwave and cook on high for 6-8 minutes. Check the cake at the 6-minute mark by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is done. Microwave times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave.
7. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the ganache. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of chopped dark chocolate and 1/3 cup of heavy whipping cream.
- Microwave the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. This should take about 1 minute to 1 minute and 20 seconds.
8. Finalize the Cake:
- Once the cake has slightly cooled, pour the chocolate ganache over the top. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
9. Serve:
- Allow the ganache to set for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- To enhance the chocolate flavor, you can add a teaspoon of instant coffee granules to the dry cocoa powder.

- If you prefer a nut-free cake, simply omit the walnuts or replace them with chocolate chips.

- For a more decadent treat, serve the cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

- Be careful not to overcook the cake in the microwave. Start with a shorter cooking time and increase in small increments to avoid drying it out.

- Allow the cake to rest for a couple of minutes after microwaving, as it will continue to cook and set during this time.
