Tips

  • Start microwaving for 70 seconds, then continue in 15-second increments if needed until cooked in the center.
  • Let the mug cake rest for a minute after microwaving to firm up.
  • Enjoy mug cakes fresh and warm, as they can become firm and chewy if left out.
  • To make in the oven, bake at 180C/350F for 6-7 minutes or use an air fryer.
  • For a vegan version, swap eggs with egg substitutes and use vegan chocolate chips.
  • For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free milk and plant-based protein powder.
  • For a birthday cake version, swap vanilla extract for almond extract and chocolate chips for funfetti sprinkles.
  • Add a pinch of salt to amplify flavors.
  • Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a more decadent treat.
  • Leftover cake can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day, covered with food wrap, and reheated for 10-15 seconds in the microwave.
