Instructions
In a small saucepan, add syrup ingredients and stir to mix. Turn on stove and bring ingredients to a boil over medium heat. Cook until syrup is reduced to half the amount, stirring occasionally to full dissolve the sugar into the champagne. This should take about 3 minutes. You should be left with 2 tbsp of champagne syrup.
For the cake, combine all ingredients into an oversized microwave-safe mug. Mix with a small whisk until batter is smooth. If desired, pour batter into a 6 oz champagne coupe glass. Make sure the batter only fills up half of the glass as it will rise further when cooking.
Cook in microwave at full power for about 1 minute. Top of cake should look cooked. Let mug cake cool while making frosting.
To make the frosting: combine frosting ingredients into bowl of stand mixer and whip on high speed until stiff peaks form. Let cake cool a few minutes before frosting top of cake. If you are only making a single cake, you can store the rest of the frosting in the fridge for later use. Cake is best consumed while still slightly warm.
Notes
Because this cake cooks for just 1 minute, I cooked mine directly in the champagne glass with no issues. But if you're worried about heating your champagne glass, you can also cook the cake in another mug or bowl and then plate it in the champagne glass.
