Recipe Tips
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use instead of egg in this orange mug cake recipe?
You can substitute the egg with a flaxseed meal or chia seed gel. To make a flax egg, mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it thickens. For chia seeds, use the same ratio.
How should I store leftover orange mug cakes?
If you have leftover mug cakes, cover them tightly with plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds before serving.
What can I do if my mug cake doesn't rise properly?
If your mug cake doesn't rise, it could be due to not enough leavening agent or overmixing the batter. Ensure you are using fresh ingredients and mix just until combined. Also, make sure to microwave at the right power level and for the correct time, as too long can also affect the rise.
