Note: These facts are for one large mug cake. The smaller the bowl or mug the fewer the calories and other nutritional information will be.
*If you want to use a standard oven: You need an oven-safe bowl/mug or a small cake pan. 350F/176C In a standard tall oven-proof mug it will take 25 to 30 minutes. In a wide open-mouth mug it will take less time 20 to 25 minutes. Just check it with a toothpick. In a small cake pan, it will be 15 to 20 minutes.
