Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparing the Ingredients: Make sure you have all the ingredients at hand. Measure them carefully to achieve a perfect result.

2. Mixing the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cocoa. Use a spatula or a fork to mix well, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed. This step is essential to avoid lumps in the batter.

3. Adding the Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and mix vigorously until you achieve a smooth composition. It is important to avoid lumps, so make sure the egg is well incorporated. Then, add the milk, vanilla extract, and oil. Mix again until smooth.

4. Cooking in the Mug: Pour the obtained mixture into a large mug that can withstand microwaving. Make sure not to fill the mug to the brim, as the batter will rise during cooking.

5. Baking: Place the mug in the microwave on medium power and cook for 5 minutes. It is essential to monitor the cake, as the baking time may vary depending on your microwave's power. When the cake stops rising and feels firm to the touch, it is ready.

6. Cooling and Assembling: Once the Mug Cake is ready, let it cool in the mug for a few minutes. Then, carefully remove it and cut it horizontally into three layers.

7. Soak and Assemble: Place the first layer back in the mug and soak it with the exotic fruit infusion. Add the kiwi slices on top. Continue with the second layer, soak it, and decorate with strawberry slices. Place the last layer, soak it, and decorate with whipped cream and fruit gummies.
