• Adjust the cooking time based on the wattage of your microwave. The cake should be cooked but still slightly gooey in the center for a fudgy texture.
• Feel free to customize your mug cake by adding chocolate chips, nuts, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce before microwaving.
• Serve the mug cake immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Storage and Serving

• This mug cake is best enjoyed fresh and warm.
• If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the cake in the microwave for a few seconds before serving to restore its soft texture.
