- Do not overcook the mug cake. It should be just cooked through and still soft. Microwave times can vary between appliances, so start with the lower end of the cooking time.
- I recommend using a ramekin or small microwave-safe mug with enough room for the batter to rise.
- The strawberry version takes slightly longer because of the additional moisture from the fresh strawberries.
- For the best texture, enjoy the mug cake shortly after making it.
