FAQs

How do you make a Betty Crocker mug? ›

Empty Cake Mix into microwave-safe 9- to 12-oz mug. Add 3 Tablespoons Water or Milk. Stir until cake mix is well blended, about 30 seconds. Microwave uncovered on High as directed below or until surface is mostly dry.

So for a single-serving mug cake, just skip the egg; a whole egg will overpower the small amount of batter (and it's pretty tough to divide an egg in quarters). Luckily, you don't need the egg—a pinch of baking powder is enough to help the batter rise up the sides of the mug.

Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor of the mug cake, but it won't make it taste salty. Milk: Milk keeps the cake batter from drying out during the microwaving process. Oil: A neutral oil, such as canola oil, keeps the batter moist without adding flavor.

Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a mug and stir together. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth, being sure to scrape the bottom of the mug. Stir in sprinkles. Cook in microwave for 70-90 seconds* (until cake is just set, but still barely shiny on top).

If you say that someone is a mug, you mean that they are stupid and easily deceived by other people. He's a mug as far as women are concerned.

The thinness of the lip, material, size, and shape can all affect your sensory perception of coffee, but we also want a mug that is comfortable to hold and looks stylish—one that even makes black, drip coffee stand out. It also might be time to ditch your old, oversized mug.

A rubbery mug cake is indicative of being overcooked, or incorrect measurements. Please be precise with the measurements and stop cooking once the cake is soft but not wet on the top.

Yes! Mug cakes are completely safe to consume.

One of the most evident reasons is that you may just overcook the cake at the wrong microwave temperature.

Don't overfill your mug with ingredients

So, if you fill it past two-thirds of the way full, you're more likely to have a messy overflow situation in the microwave. Overfilling might also affect how well the cake cooks through, as more batter means a longer bake time, which your recipe might not have accounted for.

Why does my mug cake taste bitter? ›

Burnt Ingredients: If any of the ingredients, especially fats like butter or oil, are overcooked or burnt during the baking process, they can impart a bitter taste to the cake. Overmixing: Overmixing the batter can lead to the development of gluten, which can result in a dense and tough texture.

Baking powder doesn't technically “go bad”, but it does lose its effectiveness. An unopened can is good until the date stamped on the bottom. An opened can is good for about 6–12 months.

Whisk together eggs, peanut butter, oil, honey and milk (little peanut butter lumps ok). Stir in carrots. Then add flour and baking soda, stir until just combined (over mixing = hard cake = sad birthday pooch). Divide batter between the cake pans, spread and smooth surface.

Let's make this simple: No. Eating uncooked dough or batter can make you severely sick. The primary risk comes from flour.

Therefore, there's generally no printed expiry date to consider. However, if for some reason you have leftover mug cake or you want to make it in advance, it can generally stay fresh for up to 2 days at room temperature, and up to a week if refrigerated.

Ingredients. Sugar, Enriched Flour Bleached (wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Chocolate Chips (sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, soy lecithin, artificial flavor), Cocoa Processed with Alkali, Canola Oil, Nonfat Milk, Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Fill the cups half to 2/3 to the top (depending on batter), put the cups on a sheet pan and bake directly in the oven, no liner needed. Do you need to use a muffin pan? No. These cups only need to be set on a sheet pan or any other flat surface pan allowing you to bake more at once and no special equipment needed.

This detail is unexpected and cute. To make the mug design permanent, I just baked it at 375 degrees for 40 minutes. You will want to be sure you place the mug into a cool, non-preheated oven and allow the mug to heat up as the oven heats up. The same thing goes for cool down.
