Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of instant coffee granules to the batter. If you don't have walnuts or pecans, try substituting with chocolate chips or dried fruit. Make sure to check the consistency of the batter; it should be thick but pourable. Also, adjust the microwave time based on your appliance's wattage to prevent overcooking.
