Notes

  • Experiment with gluten-free flour alternatives like almond or coconut flour to make this recipe suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.
  • Swap dairy milk with plant-based options such as almond, soy, or oat milk for a vegan-friendly version of the mug cake.
  • Reduce sugar content by using monk fruit sweetener or stevia for a lower-calorie and diabetic-friendly dessert option.
  • Enhance the cake’s texture by adding a small pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and bring out deeper flavor notes.
