FAQ
Why is my mug cake gummy?
The unfortunate rubbery texture of some mug cakes usually comes from either too much oil or from overcooking the cake itself. Most recipes call for some sort of milk as well. I prefer almond milk, but you can use any milk (or milk alternative) you prefer.
Why is my mug cake not spongy?
Well, over mixing the batter and the wrong temperature of the butter can be the reason for a rubbery mug cake just like the normal cakes. But two other reasons for a mug cake being rubbery are ‘use of too much oil’ and ‘overcooking of cake’.
Can you make a cake in the microwave?
Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Blend flour mixture into milk mixture until smooth. Pour into the prepared microwave-safe bowl. Cover and cook in the microwave on high until cake springs back when touched, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
