You didn't use self-rising flour

This type of flour gives these baked goods a light and fluffy consistency. Without all the right science involved with flour and other ingredients, cakes can be too dense and dry.

Yes! You can bake a lot of different things in the microwave. Cookies and mug cakes are a great option. I have shared so many mug cakes recipes with all of you, it's insane.

This is likely because your mug is too small, or you added too much baking powder. Measure accurately and make sure your mug is at least 10oz in volume. Why is my chocolate mug cake rubbery or dry? A rubbery mug cake is indicative of being overcooked, or incorrect measurements.

If you purposely or accidentally used baking soda instead of baking powder without making any changes to your recipe, you'll definitely end up with a bitter taste. Remember, baking soda is an alkaline, or base, ingredient that naturally has a bitter taste. Baking powder is a multi-ingredient leavener.

The small size of the treat, particularly the mug you make it in, may limit your ability to properly mix your ingredients together.

Why don't mug cakes use eggs? ›

It's easy to see why—most classic cake recipes call for two or three eggs and serve at least 10 people. So for a single-serving mug cake, just skip the egg; a whole egg will overpower the small amount of batter (and it's pretty tough to divide an egg in quarters).

This cake is perfect as is or with a little dollop of something special on top like whipped cream, melted peanut butter, or a little spread of frosting. However you decide to eat it: hot or cold, with toppings or without; you're going to be so thankful you've got this quick and easy desert in your repertoire!

Try not to overcook the cake. If you microwave it for too long, the cake will dry out. It shouldn't need to be cooked for any longer than 2 minutes. Don't worry about the toothpick creating a hole in the cake.

If your needs are limited to heating pre-cooked food, reheating, and defrosting, then a microwave is the ideal choice. However, if you want to cook entire meals and dabble in baking cakes and cookies, then an oven is your best friend.

Are microwave cakes safe? Absolutely! We are cooking this long enough so that any raw flour in the mixes has been thoroughly cook. There aren't any eggs in this recipe so you don't have to worry about that being an issue.

The photos you see on cakes are edible. Yes, they are! These photos are printed on special paper, also known as icing paper or frosting sheets. The ink used is made with edible ingredients, the printer used is of a special kind.

“You have to be a little more fussy and finicky with your ingredients to not only make it super tasty, but also, hopefully, not hideously ugly.” While the mug cake may not be the most beautiful dessert in Snackable Bakes, it is one of the most delicious.
