FAQ:
Can I make this cake without a microwave? Yes! You can bake it in a small oven-safe dish at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until the cake is cooked through.
What if I don’t have baking powder? If you’re out of baking powder, you can substitute it with baking soda (1/8 teaspoon), but be careful with the quantity, as baking soda is stronger.
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour? Absolutely! You can swap it, though your cake may have a slightly denser texture and a nutty flavor.
Can I double the recipe? While you can double the ingredients, it’s best to divide the batter into two mugs. Overfilling the mug can cause the cake to overflow while microwaving.
Enjoy this easy, quick mug cake whenever you need a fast dessert that delivers a delicious result!
