How long does this last?

Mug cakes taste the best when they are freshly made and still warm. I wouldn’t recommend making them ahead of time, so microwave them right before serving!

Can you reheat a mug cake?

You can reheat mug cakes, but keep in mind that they won’t be as moist and fluffy as when they were freshly made. If you had any cake left over I’d recommend storing it in the fridge and reheating it in the microwave for 30 seconds, or until slightly warm before consuming it.

Why did my mug cake become hard?

The mug cake most likely became hard because it had been cooked for too long. I recommend heating it in the microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds and checking to see if it is ready. If it still looks a little gooey, microwave it for another 30 seconds.

Why did my mug cake turn out gooey?

If the mug cake is still gooey it’s undercooked! Just put it in the microwave for another 20 to 30 seconds. This can happen if your microwave isn’t as powerful, or you use a small mug.

Can I add egg to my mug cake?

I wouldn’t recommend adding an egg to the mug cake as it has a tendency to add too much moisture to the cake. This results in a very wet, soggy cake.

Can I make this in the oven?

Yes, you can make this in the oven! Put it in a ramekin and bake at 170C/340C for 10-15 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center emerges clean with a few moist crumbs.
