💭 Top tip
- Let your vegan apple mug cake sit for a minute or two so you don’t burn your mouth!
- The cake will firm up slightly while it cools, so don’t over cook it.
- I use sweet apples, but if you don’t have you may just have to add a bit more sugar.
- This little treat does rise, so be sure to only fill your mug half way to avoid your cake overflowing!
Serving suggestions
