Notes
Fruit Variation: I have tried this with fresh peaches during the summer months and it tastes like pure sunshine, just be sure to peel them first for the best texture.
Doneness Check: I suggest watching your microwave closely around the one minute mark because every machine is different and you want to pull it out just as the top looks set.
Mug Selection: Use a mug that holds at least twelve ounces to give the cake plenty of room to rise without spilling over onto your microwave glass.
Flavor Boost: I often add a tiny pinch of salt to the dry ingredients to help balance the sweetness of the peaches and sugar.
Serving Idea: My favorite way to enjoy this is with a dollop of whipped cream or a splash of heavy cream poured right over the top while it is still steaming.
Texture Tip: If you are using canned peaches, I find that draining them really well prevents the bottom of the mug from getting too soggy.
Richness Swap: I sometimes use melted butter instead of vegetable oil when I want a deeper, more traditional cobbler flavor that reminds me of home.
