Pour in the milk and oil, then stir vigorously until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.

💡 Chef's Tip
For a gooier center, shave 30 seconds off the cooking time. Every microwave varies, so keep an eye on it the first time. Swap the cocoa for vanilla extract and a handful of white chocolate chips for a delicious vanilla twist.
