Have you heard of cup cake?
The principle is simple: all ingredients are measured with the same cup.
Super practical and made easy.

Does that remind you of American recipes in which everything is always given in "cups"?

Which mug do you use for mug cake?
Particularly practical: If you bake a cake recipe with yoghurt, cream or sour cream, you can use the cup as a measure!

Therefore, after the first time you bake a cup cake, you may save the container of choice for the next time.
