NOTES - * Sugar sweetens things up and balances the bitter cocoa powder. 

* Two tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder ensures a rich chocolate cake. 

* Baking soda acts as a leavening agent, which means it helps the mug cake rise. 

* A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor of the mug cake, but it won’t make it taste salty. 

* Cooking time may vary because all ovens are different, it’s difficult to give a precise cook time. 

* Keep checking after 15 minutes. 

* The trick with mug cakes is to stop cooking the cake earlier than you think, because you want it to be soft on the inside, and the cake will also continue to cook as it cools.

* You can combine the dry ingredients ahead of time and store the mixture in an airtight container. That way, all you’ll have to do is add the liquid ingredients and bake.
