Notes
❖ Microwave Wattage: The cooking time may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave. If your cake isn’t fully set after 1 minute, you can microwave it in 10-15 second intervals, checking each time. Make sure not to overcook it, as it can become dry.
❖ Mug Size Matters: Be sure to use a mug that’s large enough (12-16 oz) to avoid overflowing. The cake will rise while cooking, and if the mug is too small, it may spill over.
❖ Allow It to Cool Slightly: The cake will be very hot right after microwaving, so give it a minute to cool down before digging in. It also allows the flavors to settle and improves the texture!
