• Alter the liquid. In case you discover the batter to be too thick, add a bit of extra milk. 
• Microwave in intervals. Not all microwaves are created equal. Those who have a decrease watt setting may must be cooked longer. I like to recommend 20-second intervals till achieved. 
• Customise the filling. Whereas scrumptious as is, this mug cake might be elevated with mix-ins resembling walnuts, pecans, and even chocolate chips. 
• Add a cream cheese frosting. Swap out the glaze for a thick layer of cream cheese.
