This is huge for a ‘mug’ recipe. I have a 350ml mug. The dry ingredients alone filled 3/4 of the cup. So I transferred it to a Pyrex 500ml jug. When mixed it measured 350ml, when cooked it measured 450ml. You need to downsize the recipe or say it needs to be cooked on a jug.
Thanks for the tip – we’ll amend the recipe to note you need a really big (500ml) mug!
