How to Make the Best Mug Cake Recipes & More!
As a professional chef and baker, you may not think a microwave mug cake recipe would be on my menu, but what I call “microbaking” is the real deal. I have 100+ mug meals, including the best Chocolate Mug Cake recipeyou’ll ever enjoy, a deliciousVanilla Mug Cakefor any occasion, my world famousMug Pizza recipe, and myBrownie in a Mugthat is the perfect single-serving treat for you to enjoy.
Top Mug Cake Recipe & Mug Meal Secrets:
- How long should I cook my Mug Cake or Meal?Check the wattage (power) on your microwave to determine your exact cook time. My microwave heats at 1200 watts so your mug recipes may take a little more or less time.
- Can you overcook a Mug Cake?Does your mug cake smell or taste like egg or is it rubbery? It shouldn’t be! This means you overcooked your mug recipe. Cook it for the time on each recipe, check on it and you can always cook it longer.
- Are there Egg Substitutes for a Mug Cake or Meal?YES! I have anegg substitute chartyou can use to enjoy mug cakes egg free!
- What kind of chocolate should you use in a Chocolate Mug Cake recipe? Always use good quality chocolate including unsweetened cocoa powder (not hot chocolate powder because it has loads of unnecessary sugar) to get the best flavor.

My Best-Ever Vanilla Mug Cake recipe is the epitome of mug cakes — classic vanilla flavor, loads of sprinkles, and made entirely in less than 5 minutes.
Author: Gemma Stafford
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons (1 ¼ oz/35 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 4 tablespoons (2 fl oz/60 ml) milk (or dairy-free milk)
- 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil (sunflower or coconut oil)

In a microwavable mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
Add in the milk, oil, and vanilla and mix until just combined. Stir in the sprinkles.
