The mugcake: a quick and practical snack
I discovered the mugcake concept during my very first confinement. Quick and ideal when you don't want to go to the trouble of making a huge cake, the mugcake can be used in an infinite number of ways. And let's face it, when we cook or bake, it's often to share with family and friends. But what do you do when you're dreaming of a cake, but you're all alone at home and don't want to spoil it? Well, by making a mugcake of course, since these cakes are perfect for solo use.
No oven required
What's more, you don't even need an oven, as the mugcake can be made in the microwave. And I swear it's sublime!
Vegan
Here, mango goes great with coconut, and you can even make this snack in winter if you like, simply by buying frozen mango! And because this recipe is great all the way through, it's vegan.
My best tip
As European, I'm used to working in grams and milliliters. For savory dishes, the American measuring system can work just perfectly most of the time. But for anything sweet, I really recommend using a digital scale, which is much more precise. That way, you'll be sure to succeed with your recipes.
