FAQs:

Can I use a larger cake pan? If you use a larger pan, the cake may bake faster or take longer, so make sure to check it with a toothpick after about 15-20 minutes to avoid overbaking.

Can I use a microwave instead of an oven? Yes! If you're in a hurry, you can microwave the batter in a microwave-safe mug or bowl for about 1-2 minutes on high. Keep an eye on it to prevent overflow.

Can I make this cake ahead of time? While this cake is best enjoyed fresh, you can prep the batter the night before and bake it when you're ready to serve.

What if I don't have cocoa powder? You can substitute with melted chocolate if you don't have cocoa powder on hand. Use about 1/4 cup of melted chocolate for the cocoa powder in this recipe.

This 5-minute cake is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a quick dessert after dinner or a spontaneous treat to satisfy your sweet tooth. Happy baking!
