# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It takes five minutes from craving to first bite, which is dangerous knowledge to have
  • The texture is somewhere between a brownie and a lava cake, but nobody has to know you didnt spend an hour baking it
02 -
  • Every microwave is different, so start with 1 minute and check—you can always add 10 more seconds, but you cant undo a dry cake
  • The cake rises dramatically while cooking and then settles down, so dont panic when it deflates
  • Using a wider, shallow mug gives you more cake surface area for toppings
03 -
  • Double the recipe and use a larger bowl for two servings, but increase microwave time to about 2 minutes
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before eating—the salt cuts through the sweetness
