Notes
- The more you mix strawberry cake in a cup, the denser it becomes. So, stir all the ingredients until just mixed.
- Mug cake recipes need to be immediately microwaved.
- Since each microwave is different, you may have to fine-tune the time. After the initial 1.5 minutes, microwave the strawberry mug cake in 30-second increments until it’s cooked to your liking.
- Use a biggish mug with straight sides for the best results.
