Mug Cake

A mug cake is a single-serving dessert that is both quick and convenient, made directly in the mug in which it is served. Usually, mug cakes are cooked in a microwave, giving you the satisfaction of a delightful homemade cake in less than five minutes. It's tailor-made for those sudden dessert cravings or when you want just a small serving without wanting to make a full-sized cake. The ingredients are mostly standard: flour, sugar, some kind of fat, and different flavoring options. From classic vanilla and chocolate to festive pumpkin and red velvet, mug cakes cater to all taste preferences. No specialty kitchen gadgets required, just your favorite mug and a spoon. Simple, fun, and bound to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Mug Cake expire?
Mug cakes are usually single-serving cakes that are made and consumed immediately. 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. As for the frozen scenario, while it's not common to freeze mug cakes, it is an option, and they can last up to 2 months in the freezer.
How do you tell if Mug Cake is bad?
Since mug cakes are consumed quickly after creation, it's not often that you'll need to check for spoilage. However, if you've stored it, watch out for a stale smell and hard, dry texture. If it's mouldy, that's another dead giveaway. Remember your mug cake should be soft, moist and still have a rich, cake-like smell.
Tips for storing Mug Cake to extend shelf life
• Make sure the mug cake cools down completely before storing it in order to avoid condensation and increased chance of mould. • If storing at room temperature, cover the mug cake with a food-safe plastic wrap to keep it fresh longer. • In the fridge, keep it in an airtight container to avoid absorbing odors from other foods. • If freezing, wrap the mug cake in a plastic wrap and then place in a freezer bag to avoid freezer burn.
