Notes
*You want a big enough mug that the cake batter fills up just over half way.
**All microwaves are different and can yield different results (like an overcooked mug cake). My microwave is 800W and I cooked mine on 100% power for 1 minute 30 seconds. Knowing this may help you better judge how long to cook yours for.
Microwave Watt Time Estimates:
700W - 1min 40sec / 800W - 1min 30sec / 900W - 1min 20sec / 1000W - 1min 10sec
