# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready before you finish pouring your coffee, no advanced planning required.
  • Uses ingredients you probably already have hiding in the pantry right now.
  • Tastes indulgently fudgy without the guilt of a full-sized cake staring at you.
02 -
  • Overcooking by just 30 seconds turns this from fudgy to rubbery—microwave wattages vary wildly, so trust your eyes, not the timer.
  • The slight wetness in the center isn't underdone; it's the whole point and what makes this taste like actual cake instead of a hard cookie brick.
03 -
  • If your kitchen is cold, the batter might be thicker than expected; a tiny bit more milk fixes it without changing the cook time.
  • Make this in a ceramic mug, not glass or plastic—ceramic holds heat perfectly and doesn't develop hot spots.
