I followed this recipe to the letter, but I think next time I might add a tiny pinch of salt. It makes far too much for one (large) mug, the recipe is for 2 people so it needs to be split between two mugs. I also cooked it for exactly 4 minutes in a 900 w microwave; this was too long, the cake turned out much too dry - and split into two it would be far too long! I think, in smaller mugs, maybe 3 minutes max?? Start at 2.5 minutes and add time if needed. It certainly gave me that chocolate "hit" though!
