Notes

There are a few little nuances that are important to ensure that your protein mug cake turns out just right. For one, be sure to not over-mix your batter as this may result in a tough texture.

You also don't want to over microwave. I like to nuke for 30s increments for 1.5 minutes and let it sit. But remember - every microwave is different. So if your microwaving on high, your protein mug cake may require less time.
