Tips & Tricks

  1. Don’t skip the yogurt — it's the secret to moist eggless cakes.

  2. Use full-fat milk and fresh blueberries for the best results.

  3. Don’t over-mix the batter once you add the wet ingredients.

  4. Use a wide, tall mug to prevent overflow while microwaving.

FAQS

  1. Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones?

    Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. Just make sure to fold them gently into the batter to avoid excess moisture.

  2. What type of oil works best for this recipe?

    A neutral oil like sunflower oil is recommended, but you can also use vegetable oil or canola oil.

  3. Can I make this mug cake vegan?

    Yes, you can substitute milk with a plant-based alternative and yogurt with a vegan yogurt option.

  4. Why is my mug cake dense and not fluffy?

    Over-mixing the batter or using incorrect measurements can make the cake dense. Ensure the batter is thick but pourable and mix just until combined.

  5. Can I use a different flour instead of all-purpose flour?

    Yes, you can try using whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour, but the texture may vary slightly.
