This was great! I'm a big fan of mug cakes, but I was feeling extra hungry tonight and knew that this one would do the trick, as it used almost half an apple.
As I was eating it, I thought, "This is good, but would be GREAT with whipped cream." Then I noticed your photos with whipped cream haha. I didn't have any, so I drizzled a little honey on top for that extra sweetness and slight moisture.
Melinda says
Oh, I used a flax egg instead of a real one because I never like mug cakes with egg.
Jessica says
I'm so happy the flax egg worked for you!
Jessica says
Whipped cream and honey make everything better! So happy you enjoyed it!
