Microwave Crazy Wacky Cake in Mug recipe 4

TIPS

  • Each microwave cooks differently — adjust time accordingly!  One person made the cake in 1 minute 40 seconds, and another in 1 minute 20 seconds. If you overcook the cake, it may ruin it. Be sure to watch as it bakes. 
  • If you want a neater mug cake, mix the cake batter in a small bowl, then pour the batter in the mug.
  • You can add mini chocolate chips to the batter for a super rich chocolate cake…or do what I did, throw some on top after you make it, while it’s still warm!  Mmm, mmm good!
