What flour did you use? Self raising?

It sounds yummy. Even more so because I'm fasting! Might attempt it if I have all the ingredients

Re: microwave mug cake

i used normal flour snce i had no self raising flour. if you do have self raising flour then skip the baking powder

i had no cake or sweet dish at home and was absolutely craving for some cake. since i am the only one to eat cake at home , I decided to bake the easy way.

Re: microwave mug cake

i used a cereal bowl and turned the cake into a plate. it was non sticky at all, which surprised me.

if you use a mug, u will get a tower cake.

Re: microwave mug cake

My cake came out mostly hard at the bottom...And I only had it in for 3 min. What do you think I did wrong?

Re: microwave mug cake

I tried one of these recipes a long time ago. After that I was convinced it is all to good to be true. The thing was rock hard.
