Notes

Don't over cook it. This can be difficult to gauge the first time, because all microwaves are different and yours might cook faster than mine does. I find that 1 minute is perfect for my microwave. It's always better to undercook then overcook. If you overcook it there's no going back. The cake will be dry and the chocolate might even get scorched. If it doesn't seem quite done then cook for 10 seconds and check again.

Don't over stir the ingredients. You just need to stir to incorporate. There's no whisking or beating necessary. Just stir until the ingredients are combined.

It's always best to use a mug that's too big than one that's too small. A 10-ounce mug is the smallest you can use for this or the ingredients might overflow.
