How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken eggs
- Egg shell: Choose eggs with a thin white powdery coating on the outside, feeling rough or heavy to the touch as these are fresh eggs. If the egg shell is smooth, shiny, or has cracks, it indicates older eggs that are not fresh.
- Shake gently: Hold the egg up to your ear and shake gently, if you hear a sound, it’s an old egg. If there’s no sound but you feel strong movement, the egg is bad or in the process of hatching,…
- Do not buy if you see signs of cracked shells as bacteria can easily penetrate, or if there are signs of white mold.

What is baking powder? Where to buy it?

In terms of composition, baking powder consists of baking soda and a certain amount of acid to interact with the baking soda, plus a bit of starch. Since it contains acid, baking powder can be used more flexibly than baking soda.

Required tools
How to make Oatmeal Mug Cake
-
Mix the flour
First, mix 40g of oatmeal flour, 10g of cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder together. Then, add 30ml of unsweetened milk, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of honey, and continue to mix thoroughly until the mixture is well combined.
Tip:
- Do not mix the flour for too long or too thoroughly as it will make the cake dense, less fluffy, and chewy.
- The amount of honey can be adjusted based on your sweetness preference.
- Do not change the amount of baking powder; too much will make the cake bitter, and too little will cause it to rise poorly.
-
Pour the flour into the cup
Prepare a heat-resistant ceramic cup, pour 1/2 of the flour mixture into it, then place 2 teaspoons of peanut butter on top. After that, pour the remaining flour mixture over the filling.
How to check if the cup is heat-resistant:
- Fill the cup with cold water, put it in the microwave for 30 seconds on the highest setting. If the water in the cup heats up while the cup itself remains relatively cool, then this cup is suitable for baking. If the cup heats up and the water remains cold, you should switch to another cup!
