Helpful Tips

• For an extra chocolatey delight, use dark chocolate chips or even a chocolate chunk.
• If you don’t have cocoa powder, hot chocolate mix can be a quick substitute; just reduce the amount of sugar added to the batter.
• If you’re craving a twist, add a pinch of instant coffee granules to the mix to enhance the chocolate flavor.
• Make sure your mug is large enough to avoid the cake overflowing while cooking.

Storage Instructions

This cake is best enjoyed fresh out of the microwave. However, if you need to store it, cover the mug with plastic wrap and keep it at room temperature for up to one day. Reheat in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
