💡Tips
1. Don’t Overcook
Microwave cooking times can vary depending on the power of your microwave, so it’s important to keep a close eye on your cake. Start with 40 seconds as the recipe suggests, then check it. If it’s not done, continue cooking in 10-second intervals.
The cake is done when it looks set on top but still appears slightly moist. Remember, the cake will continue to cook a bit from residual heat after you take it out of the microwave.
2. Let it Cool
It might be tempting to dig in right away, but letting your mug cake cool for about 5 minutes is an important step. When you first take it out of the microwave, the cake will look very moist and might even seem undercooked. As it cools, it will firm up and the texture will improve.
This cooling time also allows the flavors to settle and intensify. If you want to add any toppings like whipped cream or a few berries, waiting until the cake has cooled will prevent them from melting or sinking into the cake.
