Notes

For a grown up indulgence, add some brandy to the whipped cream or pour a little over the cooked mug cake.
You can add cacao nibs for a little crunch.
Each mug cake is quite large, so even try putting half the mixture into another mug and make 2 small ones and cook for 40-50 seconds depending on your microwave.
