Mastering Mug Cake Baking in OTG: A Simple and Quick Guide

Baking a mug cake in an OTG Oven Toaster Grill is simple and quick! This versatile method allows you to enjoy a delicious dessert in just minutes. Follow this step-by-step guide to master the art of mug cake baking in your OTG.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour 4 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for chocolate mug cake) or omit for vanilla 1/8 teaspoon baking powder 1/8 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons milk 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) Chocolate chips or nuts (optional for added flavor)

Equipment

A microwave-safe mug or small bowl OTG (Oven Toaster Grill)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the OTG

Preheat your OTG to 180°C / 350°F.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In your mug, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder (if using), baking powder, and salt. Mix well using a fork or a small whisk to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Add the milk, vegetable oil, or melted butter and vanilla extract (if using) to the dry ingredients. Mix until you have a smooth batter. Make sure to scrape the sides of the mug to incorporate all the dry ingredients.

Step 4: Add Extras (Optional)

If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor.

Step 5: Transfer to OTG

Place the mug in the preheated OTG. If your OTG has a baking tray, you can place the mug on the tray for stability.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the cake has risen and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking times may vary based on the OTG model, so keep an eye on it.

Step 7: Cool and Enjoy

Once baked, carefully remove the mug from the OTG (it will be hot!). Let it cool for a minute or two. You can enjoy it straight from the mug or transfer it to a plate.

Tips

Serving Size: This recipe is for one mug cake. You can easily double the ingredients for a larger cake or multiple servings but you may need to adjust baking time. Flavor Variations: Feel free to experiment with flavors by adding peanut butter, caramel sauce, or different extracts.
