Notes
* All microwaves are different, so it is difficult to give a precise cook time. Start with 60 seconds. Check and add another 30- 45 seconds if it needs to set further. Do not over cook , otherwise it will get too dry.
PRO TIPS
1. Mug cakes are best to be made immediately and best eaten soon after making it.
2. If your cake batter looks too thick, add an extra tablespoon or two of milk.
3. Do not over cook the cake. It gets dry quickly.
4. You can substitute coconut oil with tahini, almond butter, butter, oil or applesauce.
5. Any granular sweetener like raw sugar will also work.
6. A cappuccino style mug, round base coffee mug, ramekin or microwave safe glass bowls will work.
