Are mug cakes safe to eat?

We all want a slice of cake sometimes (or maybe most of the time). And there will always be days where you will crave even a slice of cake more than ever. But the thing is, you do not know how to bake or you do not have the time or patience to spend over 30 minutes baking something that you will just consume in the blink of an eye. Well, don’t worry because I am here to give you a solution: Mug cakes. Yes, it literally is just happiness in a mug. All you need is some basic ingredients such as flour, sugar, salt, maybe eggs, and your microwave and you will be able to have your cake cravings satisfied within a matter of minutes.

Mug cakes were made for convenience and efficiency. Aside from the fact that you can have your cake within 5 minutes, everything including the mixing is done in the mug which means you won’t need a lot of equipment and bowls. You will literally only have to wash your mug and spoon.

And since it will be done in a microwave, the question you might ask now is: Is it safe to eat? The answer to that is yes. What makes your mug cake not safe to eat is the mug you use. Make sure that your mugs do not contain lead. Also, always use microwaveable mugs. Aside from that, you can ‘bake’ your own mug cakes at your convenience.

How do you make a mug cake from scratch?

If you’re craving for something sweet (a cake perhaps) but you do not have the time nor energy to bake and wait, then you might want to give mug cakes a try. It is easy, quick, and convenient to make. What’s good about mug cakes is you will be able to eat your cake while they are still warm! You actually do not need a lot of ingredients as opposed to your usual traditional cake. And what’s more is that you do not need a lot of bowls as well! You literally just need a mug and a spoon.

With all that said, here is a very easy and quick recipe on how you can make your own chocolate cake in a mug:

All-purpose flour
Sugar
Cocoa powder (for chocolate mug cakes)
