Notes
Check out these notes.
#1: It is better to choose a cappuccino mug or a large mug for the chocolate caramel mug cake. It will come out in the perfect size. Make sure it is a microwave-safe mug.
#2: Measure the ingredients accurately. You do not want to end up with a flat and/or dry chocolate mug cake.
#3: Don't overmix your batter. You might end up with a dense chewy chocolate mug cake.
#4: Make sure that your microwave is set on high power. If it is low, this will slow the baking process and extend the cooking time. The final cake will not be the same.
#5: Clean up the empty part of the mug with a wet paper towel. If you want, you can mix the ingredients in a small bowl and then pour them into the mug to get clean edges.
