TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for Vegan Chocolate Chip Mug Cake:

• Use A Large Mug: Choose a mug with enough space for the cake to rise without overflowing.

• Do Not Overcook: The cake continues to cook after microwaving and avoid a rubbery texture by stopping early.

• Customise The Sweetness: Adjust the maple syrup to taste or substitute it with agave.

• Mix Thoroughly: Ensure no dry flour remains before microwaving.

• Cool For Best Texture: Letting it rest for a minute enhances the cake’s softness.

VARIATIONS

• Add Peanut Butter: Swirl in a spoonful of peanut or almond butter for richness.

• Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth.

• Berry Boost: Fold in a few fresh raspberries or blueberries.

• Protein-Packed: Mix in a half scoop of vanilla vegan protein powder.

• Topping Options: Try chopped nuts, coconut flakes or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Refrigeration: Not recommended, best enjoyed immediately after preparation.

• Make-Ahead Tip: Mix dry ingredients in bulk and store them in small jars. Add wet ingredients before microwaving.

• Freezer Friendly: Freeze dry mix in mug-sized portions for instant mug cake kits.

• Single-Serve Only: For best texture and rise, microwave one mug at a time.
