What is a mug cake?

A mug cake is a small cake cooked in a mug in the microwave. This is the fastest and easiest way to make a single-serving cake.

It takes no more than 2 minutes to make such a cake. Yes, only 2 minutes, and the airy, delicious and slightly moist cake inside is ready!

Usually, I cook this mug cake recipe in the morning to take it to work; or in the evening after work – when there is no strength to cook a standard cake but you still want to eat something sweet.

Vanilla Mug Cake Recipe

Honestly, these vanilla mini-cakes cooked in the microwave always turn out tasty.

You can make changes to this recipe for mug cake and serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, cream sauce, chocolate, or iced coffee. Cook it once and you will definitely love it. Believe me, vanilla mug cake is so airy and fluffy like a vanilla cloud.

TIPS FOR BAKING THE PERFECT VANILLA MUG CAKES IN MICROWAVE

  1. We used a 10oz mug. Don’t use a smaller mug; the dough will double during the cooking process in the microwave (later it decreases slightly).
  2. Be careful not to overcook it in the microwave.

    Our new go to! Absolutely delicious! Moist and perfectly sweet. Since I didn’t have sprinkles, I used mini chocolate chips. My kiddo lamented that her mug cakes never taste good compared to this recipe. Thanks for sharing this scrumptious snack fix!

    I made the poor mama version of this with oil and water, without sprinkles and it was still great! Very good recipe. Like others said, mine took closer to 2 minutes to cook, but everyone’s microwave is different.

    I feel like sprinkles is optional, because I didn’t have them available in my kitchen. And I used oat milk because I’m lactose intolerant. But IT WAS SO GOOD. It was a great little treat to satisfy my sweet tooth. I doubled the recipe for my little sister to try it as well, she seemed to love it. I added frosting and my own spin to if, but it was so tasty! Definitely a repeat for a midnight snack perhaps? Anyways, your recipe was delicious! Great recipe, must try!

        I had to make some adjustments to use what I had and the results were amazing!! I sub the vanilla with almond (found the vanilla afterwards), added a tsp of high quality cocoa, and I only had self rising flour so I left it the salt and baking powder. 70 seconds then an additional 10 seconds did it. I think I will experiment with lemon extract next time. This was my first mug cake from scratch! I’m sold,.. Thanks for the inspiration!!! I love that no egg is needed.

    Nice and fluffy I didn’t some color to mine because I thought it looked a little bland also because I can and I definitely thought it was going to add sprinkles because once again add more color yeah it’s just nice and fluffy.

      Hi Katie

      I like my cakes a little less sweet, but definitely adjust to your liking. I also may have gotten a little generous with how many sprinkles I added.
