Notes
Adjust microwave time to preference: reduce by 5 seconds for gooier center or add 5-10 seconds for more cake-like texture. Use a mug with at least 12 oz capacity to prevent overflow. Grease mug well to avoid sticking. Melt chocolate in short bursts to avoid burning. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
