Tips for making the best 321 mug cake for one:
- Consider pouring both cake mixes into a gallon storage bag or storage container, mix thoroughly, and store to have on hand for future mug cakes.
- The cake mixture should last up to 3 months stored in the pantry, or longer in the fridge, according to bakinghow.online.
- When it onlinees to how to make cake in the microwave, you want to be sure to use a large enough microwave-safe mug or baking ramekin like mine so that your cake won’t bubble over as it expands. The size I am using is 8 oz. and seems to be perfect.
- I suggest spraying the mug or ramekin with a nonstick baking spray first for easy cleanup.
