    The mugcake: a quick and practical snack

    I discovered the mugcake concept during my very first confinement. Quick and ideal when you don't want to go to the trouble of making a huge cake, the mugcake can be used in an infinite number of ways.

    And let's face it, when we cook or bake, it's often to share with family and friends. But what do you do when you're dreaming of a cake, but you're all alone at home and don't want to spoil it because you can't eat a cake for 6 by yourself? Well, by making a mugcake of course, since these cakes are generally for solo use.

    No need for an oven

    What's more, you don't even need a competitive oven, as the mugcake can be baked in the microwave. And for those who are skeptical about baking a cake in the microwave, I swear it's sublime!

    A nice, moist banana cake for a snack is just the thing, isn't it?

    My best tip

    As European, I'm used to working in grams and milliliters. For savory dishes, the American measuring system can work just perfectly most of the time. But for anything sweet, I really recommend using a digital scale, which is much more precise. That way, you'll be sure to succeed with your recipes.

    Notes

    • As European, I'm used to working in grams and milliliters. For savory dishes, the American measuring system can work just perfectly most of the time. But for anything sweet, I really recommend using a digital scale, which is much more precise. That way, you'll be sure to succeed with your recipes.
    • Cooking times vary according to your microwave, as every microwave is different.
