Hi all, Several weeks ago, someone posted a recipe for a 5-minute microwave cake made in a coffee mug. I tried it, and it came out strangely: it tasted okay, but the texture was somewhat chewy and not at all fluffy; the recipe said it might rise over the top of the mug (it called for a large mug) but mine did not seem to rise much at all. My only deviations from the recipe were putting Pam in the cup to prevent possible sticking and perhaps using a few too many chocolate chips. My sister (quite the cook) says I over-mixed the batter. My grandmother, a great cook as well, says I over-cooked it. While I realize how hard it is to troubleshoot a recipe without being able to observe the cooking process and/or final product, does anyone have any ideas? My sister suggests beating the egg and sugar together, mixing the rest of the dry ingredients, then putting both together with the milk and oil. She says this will make the cake more fluffy, which is what I am hoping for. Oh, it also seemed quite "slimy" on the outside. Is this too much Pam, or should I cut back on the oil in the recipe? Thanks!
