Recipe Notes
- Use a large mug: Ensure your mug is big enough to prevent the cake from overflowing while it cooks. A 12 oz mug works best!
- Check your microwave power: Microwave ovens' wattage varies, so start by microwaving for 45 seconds, then check and add more time if needed. This prevents overcooking.
- Don’t overmix the batter: Mix just until combined to keep the cake tender and avoid a tough texture.
- Let it cool slightly: After microwaving, let the cake cool for a minute before digging in for the best texture.
- Serve with a topping: Sprinkle with cocoa powder, drizzle some peanut butter, or top with a dollop of ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat!
