Once baked, you can top it with frosting, whipped cream, or sprinkles. Perfect for satisfying a cake craving!
Can You Use Milk Instead Of Water In A Cake Mix Mug Cake?
Yes, although the cake may not be as moist as it would be with water. However, the cake texture may be more dense. So it’s really up to you and your preferences.
