Notes
*see blog post contents above for ingredient substitutions.
When it comes to microwaving this beauty, I would say start with one minute, and then if you feel it needs a bit longer, pop it back in. I do two minutes for this mug cake and it comes out like moist cake. Sometimes I go for less time if I want it nice and gooey!
MEASUREMENTS:
Whilst I do provide the US cup measurements for the recipe, I always recommend using a kitchen weighing scale and using the weighted measurements instead. This will result in a more accurate process and your cake will come out perfectly.
