MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE
Brown sugar in the batter of this classic fudgy cake makes it extra rich and gooey. Since baking it in the microwave doesn't heat up the kitchen, the cake makes a great summer treat, topped with vanilla (or your favorite) ice cream. The longer the cake cools, the more the pudding is absorbed.

Steps:
- Spray the inside of a microwave-safe 2-quart 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
- Whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, 1/4 cup of the cocoa powder, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Break up some of the larger brown sugar clumps with your fingers. Make a well in the center, add the buttermilk and oil and stir until everything is just combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared baking dish with a rubber spatula. Smooth the top.
- Put 1 cup water in a microwave-safe 2-cup or larger measuring cup. Microwave on high (at 100 percent power) until steaming hot, 2 minutes in an 1,100-watt oven or 3 minutes in a 700-watt oven. Add the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder, the vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and whisk to dissolve the sugar. Pour over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir in.
- Microwave the cake on high (at 100 percent power) until the top is mostly set and dry to the touch, 8 minutes in an 1,100- or a 700-watt oven. (If the cake is slightly wet in the center, that's OK; it will continue cooking as it sits.) Let cool for at least 30 minutes.
- When you cut into the cake, you will notice a gooey chocolate pudding layer at the bottom; be sure to scoop some with each serving. Serve the cake warm or at room temperature with ice cream.
QUICK LOW CARB CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE IN A MICROWAVE MUG
Blend ingredients and then microwave it for 45 seconds. So fast it is too easy to overcook, so watch for that. Great taste for chocolate or dessert cravings when I'm low carb dieting. I want to try this with almond flour in place of cocoa.

Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for thorough and even mixing. It significantly impacts the texture and smoothness of the cake.
- To achieve a fudgier texture, use unsweetened cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa. You may also add a tablespoon of melted butter for extra richness and gooeyness.
- Adjust the sweetness level by altering the amount of sweetener used. You can use granulated sweetener, powdered sweetener, or liquid sweetener of your choice. Start with the recommended quantity and adjust to your taste.
- For a more decadent treat, top your mug cake with a scoop of low-carb ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. You could also add some chopped nuts or berries for an extra crunch and flavor.
- Be mindful of your mug's size. A larger mug might not cook the cake thoroughly, while a smaller mug might cause it to overflow. Choose a mug that's about 10-12 ounces in volume.
- Experiment with different flavors by adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract, almond extract, or instant coffee powder to the batter. You can also sprinkle some cinnamon or nutmeg on top before microwaving.
