Double Chocolate Brownie Mug Cake

PREPARE: 2 MINUTES MICROWAVE: 1 MINUTE COOL: 10 MINUTES

This dense chocolate brownie is the perfect chocolate fix in a mug cake! If you prefer your brownies fudgier, then wait 10 minutes before eating. If you can’t wait that long, then expect a gooey, softer, cake-like brownie. Perhaps try both ways at once to decide which way is best!
