CARDAMOM VANILLA MUG CAKE

I was craving something sweet and I needed it to be fast so what is my answer to my craving, mug cake yo! Before we get into the thick of things HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY! To every woman working hard to put food on the table, I salute you. Moms, sisters, aunts, daughters, nieces, grandmas every woman out there, you are special and loved. I have been thinking a lot about spices and so I decided to spice up this mug cake with one of my favorite warm spice that is cardamom. Speaking of cardamom, I used to correct people who wrote cardaMOM thinking that it was cardaMON. Am I the only one who thought that? I'm sure am not, I know you thought that too or are still thinking in that direction. Anyway apart from having a fantastic aroma, cardamom has some great health nutrients that benefit your body as a whole. To think that I lived my life without spices! I shudder. This mug cake turned out fluffy soft you would think it was baked in the oven. What has been your favorite mug cake flavour so far?
