Mug Cake Recipes

By sandiB2010

Baking doesn’t have to take hours in the kitchen. If you have 5 minutes and a few pantry staples, you can make satisfying and delicious cakes in any microwave-safe mug. Chocolate, vanilla, red velvet—the sky’s the limit when it comes to flavors.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup high quality cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• Toppings, like whipped cream, powdered sugar or chocolate sauce

Preparation

Step 1

You’ll need: 4 large microwave-safe mugs

1. Combine all ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix.

2. Divide between four mugs. One at a time, microwave on high for 2 1/2-3 minutes, until cake rises above the mug.

3. Let cool for 2 minutes and garnish with desired toppings.


Tip: Cakes can be made in mugs, cooled and then frozen for up to 1 month. Add toppings just before serving.
