Ingredients

How To Make Strawberry Mug Cake
Melt the butter in a mug.
Add the remaining ingredients and fold in the strawberries.
Recipe Tips
- Chop the strawberries finely to ensure they distribute evenly throughout the cake.
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and better texture.
- Don’t overmix the batter—just stir until everything is combined to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Microwave in short bursts (30 seconds at a time) to avoid overcooking. Every microwave is different, so keep an eye on it!
