For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of regular butter for greasing the mug. Adjust the microwaving time based on your microwave's power; check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. Serve warm, optionally topped with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream.
