Notes
- The cooking time for your cake may differ depending on the type of microwave and mug you use. It's a good idea to start checking for doneness after about 60 seconds.
- If you notice any wet batter, simply cook the cake for an additional 10-20 seconds. On the other hand, if there is no wet batter, gently poke the cake to see if it springs back, indicating that it's done.
- To avoid the cake deflating and becoming dense, try not to leave long gaps between microwaving. Following these tips will help you achieve the best results.
