Extra notes
Note: Microwaved cakes are drier than their baked cousins. So, they are best eaten fresh once they are done. The longer they are exposed to air, the drier they become.
Cake in a mug. Fuss-free and easy to make. It’s a good alternative if you want some desserts right now but lazy to drive out to buy. The ingredients are so simple and everyone’s kitchen should have them.
