Cooking Tips
- Always use a microwave-safe mug to make this cake.
- For the vegan version, try using almonds, soy or coconut milk.
- Use a bigger microwave-safe mug. The mug cake will rise & if the mug is too small, then the cake may overflow & spill.
- Place a microwave-safe plate or paper plate under the mug to help keep the microwave clean.
- Keep an eye on the mug cake after 1 minute. If it is over baked then it will turn out hard.
Serving suggestions
- Let the cake cool down a little bit & serve it.
- You can frost it & serve. If frosting the cake, then let the mug cake cool down completely.
- You can pair it up with vanilla ice cream.
- You can also top it with marshmallows.
