One of you asked me how they can cook their mug cake if they don’t have a microwave 🤔

So a “mug cake” is a poor woman’s muffin 😅 If you have an oven (or toaster oven? air fryer?) and the patience to wait 20 minutes, preheat that oven to 350F while mixing ingredients, pour into a greased oven-safe ramekin and bake!

And guess what, it gets even better 😱 Look at that DOME.
