Notes
Expert Tips:
- Use a large microwave-safe mug since the batter will expand in the microwave, or divide the batter into two ramekins for sharing.
- Stir the ingredients until the batter is smooth.
- Microwave in intervals for 60-80 seconds, depending on the strength of your microwave.
- Use a toothpick or a fork to check the doneness of the mug cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
