Notes

Share the love: Double the recipe to share this rich cake with a friend! Just microwave them one at a time.
Best mug: Use a wider, shorter mug for better results—it makes it easier to scoop out your cake.
Don’t overcook: Keep a close eye on the cake while it’s in the microwave. You want the center to be just set, not dry!
