Steps:
- In a microwave-safe 2-cup measure, stir together a heaping 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder. Add 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) milk, and a teaspoon of vanilla. Stir till smooth.
- Mix 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon cocoa, and 3 tablespoons hot or cold coffee. Pour into the cup.
- Gently swirl it in; don't mix thoroughly.
- Cook in the microwave for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, depending how powerful your microwave is. When done, it'll look set on top, and kind of mushy around the edges.
- Turn the cake onto a plate. It'll be layered with... well, let's call it sauce. It's actually semi-baked batter, but since there are no eggs in here, it's fine.
CHEF JOHN'S CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE
Legend has it that this dessert was the result of a major catering disaster. The dessert for this particular event was to be individual chocolate cakes, but someone took them out of the ovens too soon and the centers were not cooked enough and still liquefied. Well, there was no time to take them off the plates and bake them more, so the chef simply had his wait staff introduce the dessert as Chocolate 'Lava' Cake! Brilliant!

This is a 5 (yes, five!)-ingrediemt dessert and the most popular recipe on her blog, says McCabe. Feel free to substitutle ice cream for the whipped cream topping

Tips:
- Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cake to rise evenly and prevent it from becoming dense.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will give the cake a rich, decadent taste.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense.
- Bake the cake until the center is just set. The cake should still be slightly gooey in the center.
- Let the cake cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the lava center to set and prevent it from running out.
- Serve the cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
