Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing and more consistent baking.
- Whisking Technique: Use a fork to thoroughly mix ingredients, paying special attention to breaking up any flour lumps for a smoother cake texture.
- Microwave Precision: Cooking times can vary depending on your microwave's wattage. Start with 60 seconds and add 10-15 seconds if needed, being careful not to overcook.
- Mug Selection: Choose a microwave-safe mug that's large enough to allow the cake to rise without overflowing.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the mug cake rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to allow it to set and cool slightly, improving both texture and taste.
- Customization Options: Experiment with different toppings like a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a scoop of dairy-free ice cream to make your mug cake extra special.
- Clean-Up Hack: Line the mug with a quick spray of cooking oil to make cleaning easier after enjoying your delightful treat.
