Dense, fudgy, and indulgent, the chocolate mug cake has everything you can ask for in a dessert. Here are a few tips and tricks to get it right every time.
Always mix the batter and ingredients gently for a smooth texture.
Bake at 150–160°C (300–320°F) for an even, moist interior.
Let the cake rest overnight in the fridge for structure and firmness.
Avoid mixing too much, as it can make the cake dry.
When the baked cake is too dry, brush it with sugar syrup.
For easy removal, line the cake tin well with parchment paper or butter paper.
Do not peek into the baking cake in the oven. Blind bake it to avoid moisture from escaping.
Cold ingredients provide density and lightness to the batter.
