WHAT MUG SHOULD I USE?

While testing this mug cake recipe, I used glass and ceramic mugs, to see if there was a baking difference. I found that the cake typically baked a bit faster and rose slightly more in a glass mug, whereas it took a little bit longer to bake through in a ceramic mug. Both will work fine for this recipe, but one might just take slightly longer to bake through.
