For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar. Add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor. If you don't have chocolate-hazelnut spread, a drizzle of melted chocolate or a dollop of whipped cream also works well. Microwave cooking times vary. Start with 1 minute 30 seconds and add more time in 15-second intervals until the cake is cooked through.
