Time
- If you use a wider mug, then remove mug cake about 10-15 seconds before.
- Remove promptly from the microwave. DO NOT COOK LONGER, It will make the cake dry.
Cherry liquor (Kirsch) – It adds the authentic black forest cake taste, but if you don’t have cherry liquor around, then vanilla extract works well.
