Notes

Recipe Card Tips

Use a mug that looks too big for the batter. It roughly doubles in size as it cooks, and an undersized mug means overflow in the microwave.
Stop mixing as soon as the batter comes together. A few small lumps are fine, and overmixing is the most common reason a mug cake turns dense instead of tender.

**please note that the sugar alcohols from the sugar substitute are not calculated in this recipe because they have no calories and no carbs.
