# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's genuinely ready to eat before your coffee cools down.
  • No measuring cups, no mixing bowls, no cleanup guilt—just a mug and a fork.
  • That perfect balance of fudgy center and cake texture that feels impossible to achieve in five minutes.
02 -
  • Microwave timing is everything—start at 1 minute and add 15 seconds if needed rather than guessing; I learned this after pulling out a rubbery cake when I got impatient.
  • The cake keeps cooking slightly after you remove it, so stop while it still jiggles a tiny bit in the center.
03 -
  • Use a mug that's at least 12 ounces so the cake has room to rise without spilling over into your microwave.
  • If your microwave has a power setting, 80% power gives you more control and prevents the edges from cooking too fast.
