This looks really good and I really want to try it, but I have a small problem:
Please correct me, if I'm wrong, but you have almost 20 tablespoons worth of dough for just one cup - this seems rather a lot. Just how bit is the cup you are using? I would think that this amound of dough would suffice for at least three standard (200ml) cups worth of cake, am I wrong?
Also the 3 minutes of microwave time suggest a rather big brownie.
Could you maybe tell me the size of your cup, so that I can adapt the recipe to my hunger-/cup-size?

Looking at the pictures, I think it's safe to assume that the mug is rather large. It looks almost as tall as the peanut butter jar and much wider.

It was too big for my mug, but was still very tasty.
Protip: if you want to turn it into a pudding, cook it for about half the time, then pour milk over the cake.
