Mug cake

A quick and simple mug cake that you can bake for breakfast for your family or for coffee with guests. You can prepare it with a minimum of utensils, even at your cottage. Thanks to the two-tone dough, it will not only taste great, but also look great.

  3. Take half of the finished dough and color it with cocoa. Add the amount of cocoa according to taste and desired color.
