Yup, still avoiding my food allergens, one of them being eggs. Though my reactions are now mild, it is great not having rashes on my arms and face. Mug cakes are quick and fun to make. No need to worry much about removing the eggs from a mug cake recipe because if one whole normal sized cake needs one to two eggs, a single mug cake shouldn’t require an egg for such a comparatively small portion.
Some of the original recipes of these mug cakes were already eggless and saved me from allergies. Still, I didn’t have all the ingredients so I went ahead and did some tweaking.
Watch to see what I came up with!

Buttermilk
Again? I wrote about buttermilk in my previous food post but hey, we keep learning. Aside from helping activate baking soda, it is an awesome substitute for eggs as it makes our cakes, cupcakes, and mug cakes soft and tasty.
