That viral 'one hour' mug cake trend from last year was a total disaster for me
I tried that mug cake recipe that was all over TikTok, the one where you mix flour, sugar, and milk in a cup and microwave it for 60 seconds. Mine came out as this rock hard, burnt smelling blob that stuck to the mug like cement. I scraped at it for like 10 minutes with a butter knife and ended up chipping the mug. After that I tried three more variations from different creators, each one somehow worse. The last one was so runny it spilled all over the microwave turntable and made a sticky mess that took forever to clean. I guess the hype hid how finicky these recipes are, what with everyone's microwave wattage being different. Has anyone else had a viral cooking trend fail so badly you just gave up on the whole category?
