Notes

One mug cake: 1 cake packet, 1 egg white, 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon water, 1 glaze packet, 1 1/2 teaspoons water. Grease a large microwave-safe mug; add the cake packet, egg white, oil, and water; mix with a fork until smooth. Microwave on high 2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons water to the glaze packet, seal, knead until smooth, snip a corner, and drizzle over the hot cake.
Storage: dry packets airtight, cool and dry, best within about 9 months; leftovers refrigerated within 2 hours, 3 to 4 days.
