Cooking Tips
- Be sure to use a heat-safe mug for this recipe
- It’ll take about a minute to fully incorporate the flour into the Nutella and egg mixture
- Touch the top of the cake with your fingertip to check that it’s cooked in the center and ready to eat
Why Does My Mug Cake Have A Rubbery Texture?
Usually a mug cake has a rubbery texture from overcooking. Watch the mug cake as it heats up in the microwave and check it at 10 second intervals, towards the end of cooking time, if you notice that your mug cakes come out overcooked.
Why Is My Mug Cake Still Liquid?
Mug cakes are known for having a bit of a molten center, but If your mug cake is still liquid, it needs more time to cook. Place back in the microwave and heat for another 20-30 seconds, watching to make sure it doesn’t overcook. When the cake is done, the center should be fluffy and spring back to the touch.
What To Serve with Nutella Mug Cake
