4. Lightly spray a mug (mine was 12 ounce size) with cooking spray and add the batter. Smooth the top. Microwave for 1 minute and 10 seconds, watching the microwave closely to make sure that your cake isn't exploding. Remove mug from microwave.

Notes: Microwaves vary, so yours may need less or more cook time. Mine is 1000 watts and was perfect at 1 minute and 10 seconds. I would suggest trying 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.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
