For a bakery-style finish, top with powdered sugar and a strawberry half after cooking.
FAQS
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, you can use frozen strawberries, but make sure to thaw and drain them before adding to the batter.
What can I use instead of yogurt?
You can substitute yogurt with sour cream or an extra tablespoon of milk, but yogurt adds extra moistness.
Can I make this mug cake vegan?
Yes, replace milk with a plant-based alternative, yogurt with a vegan yogurt, and ensure the chocolate chips (if used) are vegan.
How do I prevent the mug cake from overflowing?
Use a large enough mug to allow room for the cake to rise during microwaving.

Yes, you can bake it in an oven-safe ramekin at 350°F (175°C) for about 12–15 minutes.
