Why measure in grams?
If you ask any bakery how they measure, most will say they measure in grams. Measuring by weight is more reliable for desserts because some recipes don’t specify if you should pack your ingredients and do not take into account how different people measure their ingredients.
A common mistake people make in measuring ingredients is when measuring brown sugar. Brown sugar is clumpier than normal sugar because it is mixed with molasses. 100 grams of white sugar is equivalent to 100 grams of packed brown sugar—though most people don’t pack their brown sugar the same way, so you will most likely not get the same measurement unless using a scale.
Food scales are such an amazing and cheap investment to make for your kitchen because they will allow you to copy recipes perfectly because they are far more reliable and allow you to not use as many dishes! Click here to order a food scale!
Add butter, milk, egg whites, sugar, and red food coloring in your mug, and mix until combined.
Step 2
Stir in your dry ingredients—cocoa powder, All-Purpose Flour, and baking soda.
Step 3
Microwave mug cake for 2 minutes and 30 seconds (should not spill over but keep an eye on your mug cake to make sure it doesn’t). If your cake seems a bit uncooked in the center, microwave for another 30 seconds.
Step 4
Remove from microwave.
Step 5
Combine, in a separate bowl, cream cheese, milk, and powdered sugar until glaze is formed and is smooth.
