Sometimes I want a sweet and it's late and I'm not baking a cake at midnight lol Tried the box single mugs and some homemade but the texture was off spongy rubbery. Well I figured it out the other night. Cakes have eggs and oil of some type. Can't use an entire egg so. Mayonnaise! You can't taste it but it gives the mug cake a kick to being just like a cake you'd slice. Moist great texture! As for flavor this is the base. Swap water for.. Lemonade and blueberries.. Coffee and cocoa powder.. Coconut and pineapple juice.. Orange juice .. options are endless. Sugar you can adjust to your level

Lemonade blueberry. Ya can't see the glaze but it's there. Be creative add your favorites. Being Gemini that changes daily lol night before it was coconut with pineapple juice. Night before that chocolate with white chocolate topping. Tonight orange cream
