Tips & Tricks
Make sure to use a microwave-safe mug to avoid any accidents.
Do not overcook the mug cake; it should be soft and fluffy, not dry.
Experiment with toppings like nuts, extra glaze, or a scoop of ice cream for added flavor.
If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase the amount of cinnamon in the swirl.

What can I substitute for vegetable oil?
