Tips to Perfect Your Apple Mug Cake
Tip #1 Use a Larger Mug
A larger wider mug is always going to be best for mug cakes. First of all it just makes eating them easier. Secondly, it reduces the risk of overflow which is always a good thing to avoid.
Tip #2 Melted Butter Needs a Minute to Cool
Listen. When you melt the butter, it’s going to be hot. Heat is required for cooking eggs. So unless you’re trying to make some scrambled eggs in a mug, you’re going to want to let the butter cool for a minute or 2.
I suggest whisking the milk and sugar in first before adding the egg.
Tip #3 : Toppings
In my personal opinion, mug cakes are always better when they’re topped with something. I mean, this cake is delicious. Buuuutttt it was also made in under 2 minutes, it’s not the fanciest cake in the world.
Topping it with some more maple syrup, some ice cream, and of course a bunch of sprinkles isn’t a bad way to go.
