Questions People Ask
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, thaw them first and they will release even more juice, which is perfect for spooning over the top.
How do I keep the cake fluffy?
Pull it at 60 seconds. A mug cake dries out fast if it goes long, so stop the moment the top sets.
Storage
Best eaten fresh and warm. Nutrition is an estimate from standard ingredients and shifts with your protein powder and toppings, so run it through a macro calculator with your exact products.
