From dalgona coffee to feta cheese pasta, several new foods and beverages made their way into our meals. Among them was the rise of mug cakes. Since they are easy to make and satiate the sweet tooth in minutes, they gained popularity very quickly and there were a wide range of mug cakes that were being baked.
