A mug cake, or mug cake, is a quick and delicious solution for a sudden sweet craving. Easy to prepare and ready in just a few minutes, it can however be ruined if certain rules are not followed. Discover our 7 essential tips to ensure your mug cake success!

🍰 1. Choose a Suitable Mug

The most common mistake? Using a mug that is too small. Opt for a mug of at least 300 ml (or more) to avoid the batter overflowing during cooking. A mug that is too narrow can also prevent even cooking.

🥄 2. Respect the Correct Amount of Batter

Never fill more than 2/3 of the mug, as the batter expands when cooking. If you fill it too much, it may overflow, and if you put in too little, your cake will be dry.

🥄 3. Mix the Ingredients Thoroughly

A good mug cake starts with a well-mixed batter. Use a fork or small whisk to thoroughly combine the flour, sugar, milk, egg, and melted butter.

⏲️ 4. Adjust the Cooking Time

Each microwave is different! The ideal power lies between 700 and 900 W. Start with a cooking time of 60 seconds, then add in increments of 10 seconds until the cake is cooked but still moist. If you cook it too long, it will become rubbery.

🧈 5. Add a Little Moisture

For an ultra moist cake:

  • Add a tablespoon of milk after cooking and let rest for 1 minute.
  • ✔ Incorporate a teaspoon of melted butter into the batter before cooking.
  • ✔ Place a square of chocolate in the center for an irresistible molten center effect!

🍫 6. Personalize your Mug Cake

The mug cake is a great base for unleashing your creativity:

  • Add chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut.
  • Incorporate a tablespoon of spread or peanut butter for a more indulgent taste.
  • Flavor your batter with cinnamon, vanilla, or cocoa according to your preferences.

7. Let it Cool Before Eating

Even though the smell is irresistible, wait 2 to 3 minutes before eating. The cake continues to cook slightly after leaving the microwave, and this also helps prevent burns.
