Tips & Tricks for the Perfect Mug Cake
Avoid Overcooking
Stop cooking once the cake is just set to prevent a dry or rubbery texture.
Add Nuts
Mix in chopped almonds or walnuts for extra crunch and flavor.
Keep the Center Gooey
Place a small chocolate piece in the middle before cooking for a molten center.
Check Your Cup
Use a microwave-safe mug with enough room for the cake to rise.
Balance the Sweetness
Reduce sugar slightly if you prefer the bittersweet taste of dark chocolate.
