Recipe FAQ’s

Why is my mug cake rubbery?

Be careful not to overcook the cake. 1 minute – 1 minute and 15 seconds should be plenty of time to cook the cake.

Can the cake be stored?

I recommend eating this cake right after cooking. The texture doesn’t last very well after placed in the refrigerator.

Why is my cake not fluffy?

If you would like a fluffier cake, you can add an extra 1/8 teaspoon of baking powder.
