Notes
*I usually use 4 tablespoons (or 1/4 cup) of all-purpose flour for this mug cake, but if you prefer a moister texture, try 3 tablespoons instead—it still works beautifully! Just note that with less flour, the cake will be a bit smaller.
**Please note that ALL microwaves are different therefore can yield different results and can overcook this mug cake if you aren’t careful. When trying this recipe for the first time, you might want to start with a 60-70 second cooking time at 100% power. When done the cake will puff up and appear dry.
