- Lightly spray a mug (mine was 12 oz) with cooking spray and pour the batter in. Microwave for 1 minute and 10 seconds, watching the microwave closely to make sure that your cake isn't exploding.

Notes
- Everyone's microwaves are different, so yours may need less or more time as each microwave can give different results. Mine is 1000 watts and was perfect at 1 minute and 10 seconds. I would suggest try that and watching it closely while it cooks. Then, if it's still a little wet after 1 minute and 10 seconds, try microwaving it in 10 second intervals until it's done :)
