Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the mug cake will be. Use semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the mug cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a large enough mug. The mug should be at least 12 ounces in size. A smaller mug will cause the cake to overflow.
  • Cook the mug cake in the microwave for the correct amount of time. Overcooking will make the cake dry. Undercooking will make the cake gooey.
  • Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before eating. This will help the cake to set and prevent it from falling apart.
