You didn't use self-rising flour

This one isn't necessarily a deal breaker, but it could help save time and ensure proper texture in your mug cake. Self-rising flour is a flour mixture that includes salt and baking powder, two ingredients that help cake become cake.

A lazy keto diet consists of low-carb foods like meat, fish, full-fat dairy and non-starchy vegetables, but limits high-carb foods such as bread, potatoes, sugary snacks and some fruits. If you've tried the keto before and found it too tedious, lazy keto could be a good compromise.

Flavored coffee isn't keto itself since it contains little to no fat and no protein. But it has little to no carbohydrates or sugar - consuming it won't necessarily help you achieve ketosis, but it won't detract from it, either.

It's easy to see why—most classic cake recipes call for two or three eggs and serve at least 10 people. So for a single-serving mug cake, just skip the egg; a whole egg will overpower the small amount of batter (and it's pretty tough to divide an egg in quarters).

The small size of the treat, particularly the mug you make it in, may limit your ability to properly mix your ingredients together.

Why does my mug cake taste bitter? ›

Homemade cakes can taste like flour if they are not cooked properly. When cakes taste like flour, it is due to one or more reasons; the ratio of wet to dry ingredients could be off, the components may not have been mixed properly, or the cake is undercooked.
