Mug Cakes: What you don't have to do to do well

How about friends, here I transmit the conversation I had with Marta (Marta is like my Mrs. Rosa), in which I explain each and every one of the secrets so that the Mug Cakes are more than perfect.

What is a Mug Cake , Paulina?

Hi Marta, we greet each other first, right?

Hi Paulina, what is a Mug Cake?

A Mug Cake is literally a cup cake. A sponge cake that is done in a cup, to the microwave, in a few minutes.

ah! How good! Then I will not make more cakes !

No, Marta, you will continue to make cakes because the Mug Cakes are different from the cakes in flavor and texture. The cakes are definitely better, more fluffy, richer, you can play more with the ingredients.

And then why would Mug Cakes want to do? What advantages do they have?

The Mug Cakes have three great advantages: the first is that they are very fast. If it's 9am, you want to have breakfast with cake and you're going at a half, you can just do it with a Mug Cake.

The second is that they come in individual portions: if you are alone or alone and want to eat cake without, only the mug cakes can help you.

The third is the best: you will only get a cup.

Any recipe that does not allow you to take advantage of these three advantages, in my opinion it is not worth it: if you have to grate carrots, beat cream, dirty ten pots, you are in a position to make a cake instead of a Mug Cake.

I like ... Mug Cakes easy

Yes Marta, it is easy to make Mug Cakes ... When you take your hand, you can get perfect, although you have to take into account a few tricks.

Can you have them?

No.

Daaaale, Paulina

The magical words?

Please, Paulina, do you have the truquitos to make a good Mug Cake?

I like it more, pay attention:

1. While you do them

Mix first the dry ingredients, then the egg, then the rest (oil, milk)

I beat everything with a fork, not with a spoon, and be sure to scrape the edges so that you do not have lost flour bags there.

2. The cup

I chose a good cup, suitable for microwave. Little by little you will find which one that works best for you.

3. Cup filling

Always halfway, at most a little more, but no more than that.

4. Cooking

Each microwave is a world, I would tell you that you try first with 1 minute and a half to maximum power, and then you try 1 minute more in average power. The micro door can open it as many times as you want to see how the thing is going.

Ready, now go make a mug Cake.

That's it?

Yes ... give me a spoon that came out of my cup and is spread throughout the microwave ...

That is because the mixture was very liquid, Marta, it has to be thick as a cake. If necessary, add one more tablespoon of flour. It may also be that you have filled the cup a lot.

Now go and make a well -done mug.

That's it?

Yes, but now it was liquid below .

Oh Marta, you don't stand with a ball. That is that it lacks cooking time or that you did it very low.

Do another.

Well, Paulina, now what? It has a hard crust up

You cooked it too much. Try less.

AND?

This has a frightful shape! It is cooked but everything was crooked outside the cup

This can be how your cup or microwave distributes heat. If your microwave has rotating tray, put it on the edge, not in the center. And in the middle of the cooking, the 180º cup rotates on itself (that the handle is for the opposite side). You can also try several types of cup.

This was good for me, form and cooking is perfect, but it is very pale and white

That is because cooking is the microwave, the microwave does not dora like the oven, so the chocolate muges are always more colorful. And to those of pale dough we put some toping that conceals: cream, impalpable sugar, cocoa, etc.

This Mug Chocolate Cake is already perfect of form, cooking and color. I'm going to keep Roberto when I arrive when I arrive

Don't even think about, Marta! Don't even think about!

Mug Cakes are for eating at the time , but gets hard on the outside and joke inside.

Great Paulina! It is very rich! And warm! Can I put ice cream on you?

Obvious!

Do you have lives for the Candy Crush?

Chau, Marta.

Chau, Pau, but do you have lives?
