Chef's Tips

For a fudgier cake, slightly undercook it.

Top with whipped cream, ice cream, or your favorite toppings for extra indulgence.

You can substitute the milk with almond milk or other non-dairy alternatives.

If the batter rises too high and threatens to overflow, stop the microwave and let it settle before resuming.
