Difference between Microwave Mug Cake and Oven baked Cake

Microwave mug cakes are a quick and easy dessert that can be made in just a few minutes using basic pantry ingredients. While they may differ in texture compared to oven-baked cakes, there is no compromise in flavour. One advantage of microwave mug cakes is that they can be made in just one serving and require no preheating or baking time. Oven-baked cakes, on the other hand, require more time, and effort but can yield a wider variety of textures and flavours.

TIPS & SUGGESTIONS

COOKING TIME  - 60 seconds Cooking time suggested is based on 1200W Microwave. I have made this mug cake in my old 800W microwave oven and it took me about 90 seconds. Start checking at 50 seconds of microwave cooking. DO NOT OVER COOK - If your cake is cooked for long, it will dry out and get hardened too. SERVE THIS MICROWAVE MUG CAKE with a Dollop of Ice cream.
