Spray coffee mug with non-stick cooking spray (very important). Fill mug with prepared cake mix to slightly less than half full (otherwise it will emerge out of the mug during cooking).

Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds or until a toothpick entered into the center comes out clean (I do 90 seconds).

If using frosting, wait 7 minutes before application. Otherwise, it's good to go right out of the microwave.

Variation: Pour only a bit of mix into the mug. Drop 5 to 6 chocolate chips in. Pour more batter until slightly less than half full. Microwave as above.
