Tips & Tricks

  1. For extra indulgence, top with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

  2. Use oat flour instead of all-purpose flour for a healthier option.

  3. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage. Start at 90 seconds and add 10-second intervals if needed.

  4. If the cake turns out dry, add a splash more milk next time.

  5. To prevent a rubbery texture, reduce the cooking time or microwave in shorter intervals.

FAQS

  1. Can I make this churro mug cake without eggs?

    Yes! This recipe is naturally egg-free. The baking powder helps the cake rise and stay fluffy without eggs.

  2. Can I make it vegan?

    Absolutely. Just use plant-based milk and vegan butter or oil. The texture and taste will still be amazing.

  3. What type of flour works best?

    All-purpose flour gives the best soft and fluffy texture. You can try oat flour or gluten-free flour blend for a healthier or GF version.

  4. How do I know when the cake is done?

    The cake should rise and look set on top. Start checking at 90 seconds—if the center looks slightly gooey but not liquid, it’s ready.

  5. Can I add extra flavors or mix-ins?

    Definitely! Try adding chocolate chips, Nutella, caramel sauce, or a sprinkle of nutmeg for a unique twist.
