What's in This Recipe?
Biscoff Spread. Biscoff spread provides the most evident flavor for this mug cake. The flavor it provides will be sweet with notes of caramel and some spice as if you have tasted ginger or cinnamon. Once combined with the rest of the ingredients, it will be a delicious dish indeed.
Plain Flour. Plain flour will do what it does in cake recipes; it will give structure to the mug came so that it won't be a mere lumpy mass.
Baking Powder. Help the batter rise to the edge of your mug by adding just a tiny bit of baking powder. By letting your mug come batter to rise, the result will be light and soft.
Golder Caster Sugar. As a sugar, golden caster sugar adds sweetness to the mug cake. But its use does not end there because this sugar also helps in adding more volume to the cake but also ensures a light texture.
Vegetable Oil. Vegetable oil will help make this mug cake moist!
Egg. Egg assists in providing a richness of flavor and structure to the mug cake.
Whole Milk. We need whole milk to help the mug cake achieve the perfect balance of texture, and structure.
How to make Biscoff Mug Cake - Step by Step
One: In a small bowl, microwave the Biscoff spread for 10 seconds or until softened.
Two: Now, in another bowl, Mix all the ingredients together well until combined.
Three: Stir in the melted Biscoff, then pour the mixture into a mug.
Four: Microwave for 60-90 seconds.
Five: Spoon a teaspoon of the Biscoff spread on top and sprinkle over the crushed biscuits crumbs (optional).
Top Tips!
- Before combining all of the ingredients, sift the flour through a sieve to ensure that the finished mug cake will be fluffy and light.
- For your mug cake to rise, you will be using baking powder, but ensure that the baking powder you will be using is fresh so that it can give the mug cake the proper rise it needs when inside the microwave.
- Check if the mug you are using is labeled "microwave-safe" otherwise, it will break inside the microwave.
- Fill the mug up to ¾ only to give room for rising the batter. If you fill the mug to the brim, you will only make a mess inside your microwave with a failed mug cake in hand.
Recipe Variations
- Biscoff spread is already a delectable flavor for this recipe, but what do you say if we are to add some melted white chocolate into the mix as well? White chocolate and Biscoff spread combo seems like a good idea, don't you think so?
- Top this mug cake with either crushed Biscoff biscuits or whip cream.
- Use brown sugar instead of golden caster sugar if you like to add deeper color to your mug cake. Brown sugar also makes the mug cake moister.
Serving Suggestions
Drizzle this mug cake with chocolate sauce, or sprinkle crushed Biscoff biscuits on top. You can also top this mug cake with a scoop or two of Biscoff ice cream.
Storage
It is not advisable to keep this mug cake longer than a day since it is best served fresh from the microwave. But if you have leftover it, wrap the mug cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for just a day.
Recipe FAQs
Biscoff spread is a vegan-friendly product. However, the whole milk is not. Simply swap the whole milk for almond milk or any plant-based milk to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
Your mug cake became hard in texture because you over-mixed the batter. Just mix all the ingredients until everything is combined. You don't have to spend too much time mixing the batter. Also, It may be because you overbaked it.
