Tips For Making A Biscoff Mug Cake

Don't Over-Mix The Cake

It will turn out to be dense and inedible. Be patient and fold the flour in with a small spoon.

Don't Over-Cook The Cake

After the mug cake has been in for one minute, keep checking on it every 10 seconds.

Use A Microwave-Safe Mug

Make sure that your mug doesn't have any metallic parts are this is a danger hazard.

What Is A Mug Cake?

A mug cake is literally a cake that you can make inside a mug or a large ramekin. As they are much smaller than ordinary cakes they require minimal ingredients.

You also often cook them inside a microwave for speed as opposed to a conventional oven.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Lotus Biscoff spread vegan?

Yes, Biscoff spread is 100% vegan.

Why is my mug cake dense?

If you over-mix the mug cake batter, it may become chewy.

Why is my mug cake dry?

This could be because you left it in the microwave for too long. The mug cake will continue to cook when it exits the microwave so I often advise slightly underbaking them.

How To Store Your Mug Cake

I recommend that you eat this mug cake, fresh as soon as you cook it. Alternatively, you can cover the mug with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for the rest of the day.
