The consistency of batter will be semi solid & it should fall like a thick ribbon.Make sure the batter is filled till half of the mug because this cake will double while cooking.
Now microwave the mug in high power for 1 minute.Cake will raise & its size would be doubled.( mine is 800w. Please adjust the timing as per the power of your microwave) Check with a toothpick or back of a spoon.If it comes out clean,cake is done.Else keep it again for 10 secs.
For simple decoration,u can put sprinklers on top as i did OR dust it with powdered sugar.If u apply frosting,it would be even more rich. Make your choice & variations !
