Tips

Remember, different ingredients have different densities. So don’t get confused when you see in the ingredients that 2 tbsp of flour and 2 tbsp of sugar have different amounts in grams.

If you’re using grams, please be precise and use the exact amounts in the 
recipe.

Every microwave is different. Mug cakes can take anywhere between 1 
minute - 1 minute and 15 seconds. Be careful not over cook your cake.
