What is a Mug Cake?
If you are not familiar with mug cakes, then I have a very special announcement for you. They are a single-serving cake that gets baked in a mug that takes all of 5 minutes to put together. Isn’t that the best news you’ve have all day?!
Ingredients
There are a ton of mug cake recipes on the web, but this one is made with coconut flour. That means that it is gluten-free and grain-free, which is great for people with autoimmune disease or on paleo diets and who are avoiding grains.
I expect that you will be seeing a lot more mug cakes on my blog, because they are my new obsession. For instance, you might also like my Snickerdoodle Mug Cake!
To make a mug cake, you just need a few ingredients. I used coconut flour, but you can absolutely use your favorite flour. The coconut flour is nice because it has great texture and a very mild coconut flavor. Also, as I mentioned coconut flour is both grain-free and gluten-free, plus it’s a nice source of fiber. I like this brand of coconut flour.
Recipe Steps
Step One
Combine the dry ingredients in your microwave-safe mug. Stir to combine.
Step Two
Stir together the wet ingredients in a separate small bowl and stir them into the dry ingredients.
Step Three
Microwave and serve hot. Enjoy!!!
Tips
- When you’re mixing up the ingredients in your mug, don’t forget to get out all of the lumps. A small whisk can help with that.
- Make sure you reserve some chocolate chips to sprinkle on top of your mug cake. This will add that extra special touch and chocolate flavor.
- Don’t try to double this recipe. If you want to make a double serving, just use two mugs. If you cook two mugs at the same time, you will probably need to increase the cooking time to 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
FAQs
Can I bake this in the oven?
I have not tried that. I am currently developing a single-serve baked cake recipe, so stay tuned for that new recipe.
Can this recipe be made vegan?
I have not made this recipe vegan, but I do have a Vegan Mug Cake with Chocolate Chips you might like.

Yay, thanks Rachel!!! I’m glad you enjoyed it. XO.
The egg kinda cooked before the “cake”, I could see the cooked like, looked like scrambled egg. Did I do something wrong?
You didn’t do anything wrong, that can happen. But, it shouldn’t alter the overall flavor and texture of the cake. It’s not a perfect cake, but it’s kind of meant to work in a pinch. I will keep working on the recipe to see if I can fix that. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for thr recipe! I try not to microwave anything. What temp and length of time do you recommend to bake it?
Can I use flax seed egg substitute for this recipe?
Great question, Shawna! I will need to test this recipe and make any adaptions to make it vegan and bake-able. Stay tuned, because I will post it as a new recipe. Thanks!
