Instructions
Mix the Batter
Whisk together flour, brown sugar, milk, and melted butter in a large microwave-safe mug until completely smooth.
Add Caramel Center
Pour half the batter into the mug, drop the caramel sauce into the center, then cover with the remaining batter.
Microwave the Cake
Microwave on high for 75 to 90 seconds until the cake is set around the edges and just cooked in the center with the caramel still gooey inside.
Finish with Sea Salt
Sprinkle the flaky sea salt over the top of the warm cake immediately before serving for the perfect sweet and salty contrast.
