Notes | FAQ

- The cake is cooked in a Microwave oven and not conventional oven.
- Since each microwave is different and the size of cup you might use as well. So the time to microwave could vary and can be anywhere from 1 minute to 2 minutes. Keep looking constantly and turn off the microwave as soon as you feel brownie is done. As per original recipe, it was 70 sec. For me it took around 1 min 30 secs.
