FAQs

How many calories are in mug cakes? ›

It's pretty low in calories (about 100 calories for the cake, about 200 if you add store-bought frosting like I do).

You're overfilling the mug

Any size will do, as long the mug has enough room to get all your ingredients in without overfilling it. Most recipes are designed for mugs this size, so if you only have smaller mugs, you'll need to cut down on the ingredients a bit.

Eggs tend to make mug cakes have a bit of a rubbery texture, so bye-bye eggs and hello tender, fluffy cake. As a bonus, it's now vegetarian and can easily be made vegan too. I developed this recipe from wacky cake, a cake that has no eggs in it.

Excessive whipping after adding flour - After adding the dry ingredients, just avoid too much whipping, especially when you have added the flour. It can result in activated gluten because when you beat the flour too much with a certain speed, the gluten gets activated, which forms a dry and hard cake.

Why is my mug cake rubbery? ›

A rubbery mug cake is indicative of being overcooked, or incorrect measurements. Please be precise with the measurements and stop cooking once the cake is soft but not wet on the top.

Burnt Ingredients: If any of the ingredients, especially fats like butter or oil, are overcooked or burnt during the baking process, they can impart a bitter taste to the cake. Overmixing: Overmixing the batter can lead to the development of gluten, which can result in a dense and tough texture.

It's easy to see why—most classic cake recipes call for two or three eggs and serve at least 10 people. So for a single-serving mug cake, just skip the egg; a whole egg will overpower the small amount of batter (and it's pretty tough to divide an egg in quarters).

Skip eggs - Since mug cakes are usually single serving, one egg tends to be too much for the portion and it ends up tasting "eggy". So, mug cakes amade without eggs have the best soft and light texture. Add the right amount of leavening - Baking powder is generally the go-to leavening for mug cakes.

Too much flour or too little liquid will cause the batter to be thick and dry, leading to cracking. Overmixed batter may contain air pockets batter which can contribute to cakes cracking. Mix according to the recipe directions.

Thanks to ingredients such as fats, sugar and flour, cakes and pies are often high in calories and provide little nutritional value for the body. Salty pies can also be high in salt and sodium. Portion control is key, especially when it comes to various toppings and add-ons.

Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a mug and stir together. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth, being sure to scrape the bottom of the mug. Stir in sprinkles. Cook in microwave for 70-90 seconds* (until cake is just set, but still barely shiny on top).
