Tips & Tricks
Don’t overcook the mug cake, as it cooks quickly and overcooking will make it rubbery.
For extra fluffiness, add 1 teaspoon lemon juice for a lighter, spongier texture.
Boost the flavor by adding a pinch of cardamom or cinnamon.
Ensure the batter is smooth and well-mixed to avoid a dense, uneven texture.
FAQS
Can I use fresh mango instead of purée?
Yes! Blend ripe mango chunks into a smooth purée before adding to the batter.
Can I bake this in an oven instead of a microwave?
Yes. Bake in an oven-safe mug or ramekin at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes.
How do I make it spongier?
Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar to the batter before microwaving.
Can I store it?
Mug cakes are best eaten fresh, but you can refrigerate for up to 1 day. Reheat for 10–15 seconds before eating.
Is this healthy?
You can make it healthier by reducing sugar, using whole wheat flour, or adding oats.
