Spiced Carrot Mug Cake FAQ
Why is my carrot cake soggy?
If you aren't checking to see if the center of your carrot mug cake is set after microwaving for 30-second intervals, it might turn out soggier or more gooey than expected. Try sticking a fork or toothpick in the middle if you can't tell if the center of it is set or not before trying to eat it.
