Can I make it early?
This mug cake tastes best right away. But, you can mix the dry stuff ahead of time. Then, it’s even faster to make later.

Yes, you can! Use almond or soy milk instead of regular milk. You can also use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. And try different chocolate! It all works.
