Notes

Cooking time will vary depending on the power of your microwave.

Start with the shorter time listed in the recipe, and if it looks still moist through the window of the microwave, add on the extra time. If the edges are still looking a little moist, you can add up to 30 seconds more. You can also test it with a toothpick to make sure the batter is cooked.

This is quite a large mug cake that can easily be shared between two people!
