The ultimate vegan ! This is an eggless ready in 2 minutes in the microwave. If you are craving a fluffy , this will fix it quickly!
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 seconds burst
- Mug size – always use a regular size coffee mug diameter 8cm (3 inches) and 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 or the would come out dry.
- Baking time – the perfect baking time for a , in a 800W microwave power is 90 seconds and regular coffee mug. However, if you have to change any of these parameters, I recommend you start 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 result in chewy dry that won’t taste good
How to make a from scratch?
There is nothing easier than making your own vegan . Its the perfect 90 second vegan to fix any sweet craving. All you need is to combine all the ingredients directly into your coffee mug. You don’t even need to use a separate bowl which is great! The main ingredients you need to make an eggless are:
- – the works with all purpose white , gluten free blend, or white . works too but the batter will be more fragile and less fluffy. However, or won’t work in this , so don’t be tempted to use them !
- Unsweetened – or any you love like oat milk, or rice milk
- – or half amount of if preferred
- extract or essence
- or white or erythritol for a -free . I don’t recommend using or any liquid sweetener in or the will be too heavy and dense.
- – or any light oil like avocado oil, almond oil. I had great successes with apple sauce too for an oil-free option
Then bake your vegan in the microwave for 90 seconds at 800W. Finally, serve directly in the mug making sure you wait 1 or 2 minutes before you dig in! It is very hot in the center and you don’t want to burn yourself.
How to serve your vegan ?
This is a light, fluffy and it truly remind me cupcakes. It is even better with a . The best vegan ideas for that only take few minutes to make are :
- a dollop of dairy-free coconut yoghurt with a pinch of
- a drizzle of – my favorite is or
- buttercream – beat 2 tablespoons of vegan butter with 2 tablespoon of icing and 1 teaspoon of !
- – this is not a but a delicious and quick way to bring your to the next level. , made with like coconut or almond are very tasty with some on top!
Can I instead bake this eggless ?
Of course, using a microwave is not the perfect method for baking food as it can degrade some precious nutrients from the food. Great news, you can also bake this in the oven at 180C (350) for 10-12 minutes in an oven-proof ramekin!
Some ideas to boost your flavors!
You can tweak this a lot depending to create different flavor using the same . Below are some ideas.
- – replace the oil by 1 tablespoon of mashed banana and add few drops of banana extract. This will also be great option to make an oil free

Vegan vanilla mug cake
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup All purpose white flour - unbleached, or whole-wheat flour or all purpose gluten-free flour (32g)
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar - or white sugar or sugar-free erythritol (12g)
- 3 tablespoon Almond milk - (at room temperature) or any plant base milk of your choice (45ml)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil - , melted or apple sauce for oil-free version (15ml)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
Instructions
- In a coffee mug, add flour, baking powder, coconut sugar, almond milk, melted coconut oil and vanilla. My coffee mug has a diameter of 8 cm (3 inches) and minimum height of 5 cm (1.9 inches) this prevent the batter to overflow.
- 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 a lower power, you may have to increase baking time by 20 seconds burst. 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 seconds burst.
- Enjoy immediately with dairy-free coconut yoghurt 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.

Simple and delicious! I topped it with dark choc chips and dairy free custard which was perfect.
Always better with chocolate chips ! Thanks for the lovely review and for trying my recipes, Enjoy the recipes around here XOXO Carine
That amount of baking powder is definitely too much for this amount of dough! It came out disgusting, had to throw it away 🙁
I am sorry to hear that but baking powder has no flavor are you sure you didn’t use baking soda which is very bitter?
This is amazing! So light and delicious – I topped with chocolate sauce (no choc chips in the house), so yummy.
Thank for the lovely feedback. The chocolate sauce sounds delicious! Enjoy the recipes around, XOXO Carine
