How can I make mug cake even better?
There are mixed thoughts on how to better mug cake being that people have varying tastes. Some say that a whole egg being part of the recipe is too much egg for such a small amount of batter and can overpower the taste. Others say that the shape of your mug can impact how well and thoroughly it cooks. Improving the taste of a mug cake will be primarily based on your taste, so play around with the recipe as you see fit!

Why is my microwave cake hard?
Just be careful not to overwhip after adding the dry ingredients, especially after adding the flour. Because the gluten becomes activated when the flour is overbeaten at a specific pace, it can result in the formation of a dry, hard cake.
