Seriously, you’re probably sick of mug cakes and rolling your eyes at me right now, but STOP! Because the first batch was so bad, it turned into a recipe development hour. The second one was a little better, but it was still awful. On the third time, I switched out some ingredients and added a little bit more of others, and it came out well, but I knew it could’ve been better, so, on the fourth try, I finally got it to work with the precise texture I desired.
