1 Minute Perfect Chocolate Mug Cake in Microwave
FAQ
Are mug cakes supposed to be gooey?
The cakes should be cooked, but very moist, and a bit gooey in the middle. If you like your cake extra soft and gooey, cook for a bit less time. Allow cakes to cool for about 10 minutes prior to eating.
Why did my mug cake turn out rubbery?
Why is my mug cake rubbery (or chewy or hard)? Your mug cake can be rubbery because you overcooked it or added too much baking powder. Less is more with mug cake, so use a little baking powder. It’ll still rise well and be super soft and moist.
Why did my mug cake not work?
If your cake doesn’t stick, you’ve nuked it a little too long. And if it’s still completely wet, put it back in the microwave for 5-10 second increments until it reaches that perfect, slightly-sticky consistency. Now comes the best part… dig in and enjoy your rich cake and gooey, molten center!
