Expert Tips for Making Mug Cakes

  • Stout Mugs: Try to use large and wide mugs when baking mug cakes; using tall and thinner mugs may cause the cake to bake unevenly.
  • Butter is Better: Substituting oil called for in recipes with melted butter can give the cake a fluffier and lighter texture.
  • Stir the Egg Some More: Make sure to thoroughly stir any egg you add into the mixture, and then stir again to avoid bits of egg white coming out in the finished product.
  • Extra Protection: Add a little bit of water on top of the mixture and do not stir it in. This will help keep your cake moist and prevent burning on top.
