Tips for the Best Mugcake

  • Use a large mug or ramekin – The cake will rise, so ensure your mug is big enough to prevent overflow.
  • Don’t overcook – Start with 60 seconds and check; overcooking can make it dry.
  • Customize flavors – Add a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dash of almond extract, or even some sugar-free chocolate chips for variety.
