Notes

MICROWAVE COOKING TIME

Microwaves may vary in their cooking time based on the power they output. Here are a few tips to make your mug cake a success:
  • Set your microwave on high and cook for 60 seconds. If your cake is set, take it out and let it cool slightly, add your toppings, and enjoy!
  • Mug cakes can easily become over-baked and dense. You want your cake to be moist and slightly sticky on top, but not a gooey cake batter consistency. 
  • If your cake is not quite set after 60 seconds, cook it for 20 more seconds and recheck. Still not set? Cook for 10 more seconds. You can easily overcook your mug cake, so be cautious when adding additional cooking time. 
  • Mug cakes will rise while cooking in the microwave and then settle once it begins to cool. 

COOLING TIME

The mug cake will be very hot straight out of the microwave. Let the cake cool for a few minutes before eating.
