Curious to know - how much would a "coffee mug" be worth - 250 ml or ??? I have LOTS of coffee mugs - but they are all different sizes. I'd love to give this a go this w/e - so hoping to hear back from you :)

Anna, have measured the contents of a large coffee mug and updated the details to be more exact. So 250gms or approx. 8 ounces would be correct. It really is a delicious cake so make sure you try it!
