How to make a in the microwave?
Mug cakes in the microwave are very convenient recipes to get your baking goodness fix in less than 2 minutes. To make sure your always comes out fluffy and moist, there are a few things to consider:
- Microwave power – make sure your microwave is on high power 800W. If your microwave can’t go that high, you will have to increase the baking time by 20-second bursts.
- Mug size – always use a regular size coffee mug diameter of 8cm (3 inches) and a minimum height of 5 cm (1.9 inches). If you were using a wider microwave-safe ramekin, you would have to decrease the baking time. Otherwise, the would come out dry.
- Baking time – the perfect baking time for a is 90 seconds in an 800W microwave power and regular coffee mug. However, if you have to change any of these parameters, I recommend starting baking the for only 60 seconds. Check the texture and keep baking by 20 seconds burst until the center is set, moist and fluffy. This will prevent overbaking the which often results in a chewy dry that won’t taste good.

- Unsweetened – or any you love like oat milk, or rice milk.

Vegan vanilla mug cake
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose white flour - unbleached, or whole-wheat flour or all-purpose gluten-free flour
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar - or white sugar or sugar-free erythritol
- 3 tablespoons Almond milk - (at room temperature) or any plant-based milk of your choice
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil - melted or apple sauce for the oil-free version
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, add flour, baking powder, coconut sugar, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. My coffee mug has a diameter of 3 inches (8 cm) and a minimum height of 1.9 inches (5 cm). This prevents the batter from overflowing.
- Whisk the ingredients together until it forms a smooth batter with no lumps.
- Bake in the microwave for 90 seconds at 800W. If your microwave works at lower power, you may have to increase baking time by 20-second bursts. If your mug is low and wide, your mug cake will bake faster, and you may have to bake only 60 seconds first, then adjust baking by 20-second bursts as well.
- Enjoy immediately with dairy-free coconut yogurt and vegan dark chocolate chips on top or plain.
Oven baking
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes in an oven-safe greased ramekin.
