A soft, homemade, easy and single serving coffee mug cake!
Coffee Cake In A Mug
This coffee mug cake comes complete with crumbly streusel topping in each little bite.
By now, I think all of my girl friends–and some of the guys too–are on Pinterest. We were talking about the site a few days ago, and one of my friends mentioned a “coffee cake in a mug” pin that taunted her every time she logged into her account.
Finally she wrote down the recipe with the intent of trying it at home, but then was horrified to learn one mug contained 720 calories and an entire day’s worth of saturated fat!
Also try the popular chocolate version: Vegan Mug Cake
How can they fit so much fat into a single mug?!
So I came up with a healthier version for her.
You could quadruple the following recipe and it would still be healthier than eating one of the frankenmuffins from Pinterest.
(View The Video, Above)
I think my friend approves of this recipe. She’s made it four times already and says I’m her new favorite person in the world.
Apparently my face is now pinned to her “Dream Wedding” Pinterest board, under the title “dream wedding caterer.”
Not sure how I feel about this…
Coffee Mug Cake
Coffee Mug Cake
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp spelt, white, oat, or almond flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/16 tsp salt
- pinch uncut stevia OR 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp + 2 tsp water (or 1 egg or flax egg if using almond flour)
- 2 tsp oil or buttery spread - or applesauce
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- *For the streusel:* If you like a lot of streusel, feel free to double all ingredients below
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/4 tsp sucanat or brown sugar (or keto sweetener)
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp oil or buttery spread (or applesauce)
- tiny pinch salt
- 2 pecan or walnut halves
Instructions
I prefer the oil or buttery spread, but that’s simply because I’m not a fan of fat-free baked goods. If using an oven, preheat to 330 F. Combine batter dry ingredients and mix well. Add wet and mix until just mixed. In a tiny bowl, combine all streusel ingredients. Fill a greased muffin tin 1/2 way with the batter (or use a ramekin or mug, if using the microwave). Sprinkle on two-thirds of the streusel, then spoon the remaining batter on top. Finally, sprinkle on the rest of the streusel. Cook 12-13 minutes in the oven, or around 1 minute in the microwave. Microwave times will vary, depending on microwave wattage.

14th May 2012 at 2:26 pmI’m going to have to try this ASAP. i used to make chocolaet ones in grad school all the time.
I know a lot of people that have put a lot of effort into their weddings already- and are probably still years away from it. I guess if it makes them happy, but I’m so low key I’m trying to figure out a way of getting married in flip flops.

14th May 2012 at 2:40 pmI was just talking about the baked goods I missed since being vegan, wheat and refined sugar free. Coffee cake was one at the top of the list. Along with cinnamon buns and gingerbread (both the loaf and the men). Can’t wait to try this. YUM!
Jackie says
22nd August 2012 at 1:38 amI just made this with Bobs Red Mill AP GF flour, coconut sugar, and earth balance – it was amazing!!! You won’t feel like you’re missing anything!
Tracy Lynn says
27th August 2013 at 12:32 pmwhat about using using Bob’s GF oats ground into a flour? Would that work?
Caterina says
10th December 2014 at 9:29 amI LOVE THIS CAKE. It’s been my go to with all the diet restrictions I have right now. I make it GF, nut free, and refined sugar free. This works wonderfully with coconut sugar and Earth’s balance for the streusel, I use coconut oil for cake. I haven’t tried oat flour but found the results with Bob’s GF flour to be too spongy/rubbery, the best results I’ve gotten (GF) are with 2 tbsp brown rice flour and 2 1/2 tsp coconut flour (used less flour because coconut flour is a liquid hog!). This combination gave it a wonderful moist somewhat denser texture more like a pound cake. I also used carton coconut milk instead of water.
Annie @ Naturally Sweet Recipes says
14th May 2012 at 2:44 pmWhat an awesome recipe Katie!! This looks divine! I love coffee cake, but would never make a whole pan of it for breakfast. This is the perfect solution! I’m excited to try it!

Kara @Nutritious-n-Delicious says
14th May 2012 at 3:27 pmOh man my roommate is definitely obsessed with wedding stuff on pintrest. She nuts! I’ve seen a few of those crazy bride stories too. One girl went tanning so much she basically cooked herself from the inside out and died at the altar. SCARY.
Katia says
14th May 2012 at 4:50 pmThat’s an urban myth.
Marion says
25th November 2018 at 3:40 pmI’m pretty sure that’s not a true story lol. I suppose it is possible that she tanned waaayyyyyy too much &also happened to die at the altar,but the events would almost positively be unrelated. A tanning bed is not a microwave,it would not “cook” someone from the inside out..precisely the opposite. It would be from the outside in,meaning that the external effects would manifest long before anything internal happened..&since we are talking about a tanning bed,something that physically changes the color of ones skin at an expidited rate,the symptoms would surely be noticeable. If someone tanned long enough for it to cause intetnal complications,they wouldve greatly surpassed that bronzy glow that any bride to be would be looking for,several times over. Assuming she did it in several sessions like normal,she wouldve had to have burned &blistered and still continue with her sessions at which point idk what word would properly describe the condition that poor girls skin would be in… But my bet is no one would intentionally turn themselves into a crispy burn victim,especially if they’re walking down the aisle. HOWEVER, there is the possibility that she tried to get all her color in one go,say, the day before the nuptials,& stayed in the bed for a very lengthy amount of time,where the effects wouldnt be felt immediately..but I know theres no salon in the world that would allow that and you’d think someone would have enough common sense to know that laying naked in a machine thats basically the sun on massive steroids &only inches away from you&your naughty bits probably wont yield any desirable results…..but honestly,these days,i almost wouldnt be surprised if this story was actually true &that is what happened.
Stupidity isnt grand,UNLESS were talking about these stupid easy &even more stupidly delicious mug cakes…especially this coffee cake one. Mm mm…just mmmmmmm. Simply delightful? Nope. Stupidly delightful 🙂
Kat says
14th May 2012 at 3:30 pmYum, I love coffee cake. I will probably try something similar soon. I have trouble following recipes, instead I use them as a guideline. lol
I am in Wedding Mode right now because I am getting Married in September. I haven’t been planning all my life, In fact I didn’t seriously start planning until early this year… I am running out of time and doing my best to put together a fun wedding on a tight budget. I’m soooo glad I am not a bridezilla though. I watch that show ‘Bridezillas’ as a what NOT to do! lol, that and it’s also a guilty pleasure.
Chrissy says
14th May 2012 at 3:36 pmOk Katie, if I make it and love it, you’ll be pinned to a “dream wedding” board on MY Pinterest, too! LOL! :0) I freakin’ LOVE coffee cake but won’t make it anymore because I know how much guilt and regret I’d feel after consuming a piece from a normal recipie. Can’t wait to try this! And it’s about a zillion times better that all ingredients are ones I’ve got on-hand! :0) THANK YOU!
Samantha says
14th May 2012 at 3:39 pmWow. I think this just jumped in front of the banana-spilt pancakes. They keep getting jumped by one of your other recipes. 🙂 I may run downstairs…now…
I am finally old enough that the biggest marriage and baby blitz has passed. I would be lying if I didn’t say it was a bit hard because I wasn’t a part of the wave. However I have always known my wedding if I had one would be extremely easy and now, more and more I am thinking elope or justice of the peace.
THEN spend the money on a fun vacation experience!
(and yes, I have seen some crazy stipulations for the bridesmaids…kind of says a lot about the bride in my opinion).
sheila says
1st March 2013 at 1:53 pmI agree with you, elope and have a great vacation, save the stress, save a ton of money!!
Sarah the official CCK drooler says
14th May 2012 at 3:41 pmYUM!!! Could I have this for breakfast? I REALLY hate using the microwave just because it takes out the nutrition in anything and emits dangerous radiation. But I don’t wanna wait for the oven either 🙂
Anyone obsessed with weddings? Well, I was *sort of* obsessed with the Royal Wedding. I know what you’re thinking- such a loser. Well, my cousin was obsessed with the Kim Kardashian Wedding. now THAT’s a real loser :p
And guess who’s still married?
If you said Kim you need therapy.
So many people were surprised that they broke up so quick. Was I the only one who was surprised that it lasted a WHOLE 72 days?
Tara @ Chip Chip Hooray says
14th May 2012 at 3:44 pmHooray!! I love mug cake recipes–and anything with streusel is my FAVE. 🙂
Amanda M. says
14th May 2012 at 3:51 pmThis looks absolutely AMAZING! I will be making this yummy recipe this weekend! I think my very non-vegan husband might like this as well! Thanks for another fantastic recipe!
As for weddings- I agree. It should be special and perfect because of who you are marrying!! I married my husband in a courthouse in the presence of 8 people and a judge, in a 3-dollar thrift store dress. We had plans to have a “real” wedding, and even that one was very low-key. But in the end, we just didn’t feel like waiting that long just to make a spectacle of the whole thing. And I am definitely NOT saying that all weddings are just a big show- I love lovely weddings! Nothing wrong with that at all if you keep in mind the true reason for the whole thing! But for us- two young (I was 18, he was 22), spontaneous people, it just wasn’t for us 🙂 But here we are, nearly 8 years later with 2 kids!
Anna @ The Guiltless Life says
14th May 2012 at 3:54 pmPeople can DEFINITELY get too carried away with the wedding talk. I love to plan things, period, so I enjoy thinking about it but I haven’t yet created a Pinterest board. I will reserve that for when I actually AM planning a wedding lol.
Btw, what is that you’ve got on top of the cake? Is it just melted coconut oil or icing? Thanks!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
14th May 2012 at 4:06 pmYou can make a really quick icing by just mixing powdered sugar or sugar-free powdered sugar with a few drops milk of choice. 🙂
(I think you could just use water for a thinner icing… I used almond milk for the one in the photos.)
[email protected] says
14th May 2012 at 3:58 pmWow! I’m gonna try this tomorrow for breakfast!
the most lasting thing about a wedding is the partner you come away with. As long as that good, nothing can go wrong.
Chelsea says
14th May 2012 at 4:10 pmthis looks amazing! What do you have drizzled on the top of it?
As someone who just got married, it is hard not to get caught up in wedding madness! I’ve heard stories of brides making the bridesmaids dye their hair so that nobody has the same hair color as them! How crazy! Aren’t they in your wedding because you love them and want their support?

Janice says
14th May 2012 at 4:10 pmHave you ever cooked it in the microwave? Its how I make them, but when I open the door… it gets… a little flatter than it looks in the picture. I was wondering if the same happens to you.
Samantha says
14th May 2012 at 4:40 pmThis actually made me laugh. I would say mine are a bit flat too when microwaved. 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
14th May 2012 at 10:50 pmYup, it definitely doesn’t look as pretty! That’s the price you pay for convenience!
Samantha says
14th May 2012 at 11:45 pmLOL.Or in my case…impatience. 🙂

14th May 2012 at 4:16 pmI love what you’re saying about weddings – hasn’t it become the social norm to focus more on the wedding than the actual marriage? After three years of reading books like the Five Love Languages, Personality Plus and Building Your Mate’s Self Esteem; hanging out with couples who have been married for years and are actually happy, and learning as much as possible about building a solid foundation, my honey and I are finally at the planning stage. Honestly, this stage is getting less attention than other struggles in our life that we are going through together.
The divorce rate is over 50%, correct? There’s nothing wrong with wanting to plan out a beautiful wedding, but perhaps we all need to consider what’s going to happen several years down the road when the butterflies flutter away!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
14th May 2012 at 4:18 pmAhhh this looks so good! I love wedding shows and generally all things wedding, but I think being single with a wedding pinterest board is definitely crossing the line… although I’m also not one of those girls who dreams of her wedding and has everything picked out. I figure, how can I imagine my wedding if I don’t have the groom yet!?
Alex says
25th July 2018 at 12:11 pmForgot to add – I used spelt flour in mine.
Char @ www.charskitchen.ca says
14th May 2012 at 4:22 pmhaha your friend sounds adorable! and I looove coffee cake, so I’ll have to give this a try.
can’t touch the wedding thing, haha. sure, I want to get married some day, but I’m more focused on building my relationship than thinking of the perfect “day.” Because it’s just one day out of your whole life with someone, and every day with them should be amazing.
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says

sally @ sallys baking addiction says
14th May 2012 at 4:25 pmKatie! I’ve been brainstorming some new single serving recipes to bake up, so this post is PERFECT for me today. I think I’m going to try it with butte rinstead of oil or applesauce – and bake up in the oven. I’ll let you know when I make it and link up from my post. Thanks for another awesome single girl recipe CCK!
Ashley Dodge says
14th May 2012 at 4:32 pmCoffee cake is one thing I adore but hate to eat because of the calories! I can’t believe it either, but this recipe looks soo good. Perfect for a post-weekend breakfast!
Brittany @Little b's healthy habits says
14th May 2012 at 4:52 pmOh my gosh! This looks incredible, and easy!
Emily @ Glitz Glam Granola says
14th May 2012 at 4:59 pmOmg I love coffee cake and this looks delicious! The ingredients are so simple too and happen to be all things that I have on hand! LOVE that!! I can’t believe the recipe your friend found had so many calories- that’s horrifying! And I don’t have a wedding board on Pinterest but I do love all things wedding! I’m obsessed with the tv shows and get my fix from them!
Sami B. says
14th May 2012 at 4:59 pmYummmmm coffee cake.
I do have a wedding page on Pinterest, but its only for those pins that are so crazy cool I think “I want to do that IF I ever get hitched.” I feel weird planning a wedding without the groom….he’s kind of half the party, ya know? His opinions definitely count, so why plan the whole thing alone…when I’m still single?
Sara Dane says
14th May 2012 at 5:09 pmI wasn’t on Pinterist when I planned my wedding last year. It would have been SUPER USEFUL for keeping all my ideas and vendor websites in one place, but I would keep the board private so my guests would be still be SURPRISED at my fabulous wedding!
Lily says
14th May 2012 at 6:18 pmSo excited to make this! I looooove your easy, quick recipes!
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
14th May 2012 at 6:19 pmI’m gearing up for my first wedding where I’m not invited simply because I’m family. It’s one of my friends — which is making me freak out because that means that I am of a marrying age suddenly. Which is a very scary thought. lol
Love the mug cake. I’ve made the fattier versions before and love that there is now a better version out there!
Stephanie @ Legally Blinde says
14th May 2012 at 6:38 pmAhhh this looks SO tasty! I really love all of your single-serving recipes. Thanks for another great one!
Juliana says
14th May 2012 at 6:54 pmOh my goodness! I can’t wait to try it!!! 😀
I think about my future wedding from time to time, but you’re right! It’s all about who’s standing across from you on the altar!
Ann Claire says
14th May 2012 at 3:05 pmThis looks delicious! I assume the ones pictures you did in the oven, how is the texture when microwaved?
One of my sisters is getting married in August and the other is an event coordinator/wedding planner, so I hear lots of wedding talk. It’s always fun though. I’m definitely a few years away from that, I’m more concerned with finding the dream groom, the actual celebration not so much (at least not yet).
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
14th May 2012 at 3:58 pmI like it much better in the oven, but I’m honestly not a big fan of microwave cakes EVER. My friend makes it in the microwave and she seems to like it that way :).
Kat Midón says
20th April 2015 at 9:10 pmOld Married Lady here! Looking for recipes for one or two (hubby travels – he’s a musician)… So fun – must made it before my dinner for one – now I’m full… oh well – I liked this better than my main course! But I never microwave – was curious and used it – hence a spongey but tasty bit – forgot to use the nuts – this is definitely a great morning treat with coffee – my dog loves when I bring coffee and breakfast in bed – she thinks she’s getting something fabulous… Anyway, she won’t get this nor does she get the green smoothies we’ve been having! I’m going to make the chocolate cake in a cup next (tonight – hahah – I’m recipe testing!)… Thanks for doing this – it’s a great idea! AND I agree – ditch the wedding and take a nice vacation!
Samantha says
14th May 2012 at 4:00 pmGood morning. I literally just did this one in the microwave.
Generally speaking, I find the microwaved versions slightly…spongy-er. That is the best way I know how to describe it. I still microwave more often than not because it is fast, easy, and no heating the oven.
I will say that having done some of these recipes both oil or applesauce versions that when I have done the oil it has been more of an oven consistency in the microwave…if that makes sense?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
14th May 2012 at 4:03 pmThat’s because applesauce versions will also be gummier. So an applesauce version in the microwave = double gummy! Haha but some people like it that way! I know my friend uses the applesauce version of this recipe and loves it. I probably wouldn’t even like the applesauce version in the oven! Everyone’s tastes are different ;).
Samantha says
14th May 2012 at 4:06 pmYes…gummy is a good description. 🙂 Once I did applesauce + microwave + whole wheat flour. You can probably imagine. I was overtired that night. 🙂
The oil versions just have more of a rich baked goods taste to me.
Amy says
10th August 2015 at 1:20 amHello! I LOVED this recipe…thanks so much Katie! But in fact I have to say that if you microwave it you CAN make it fluffy, light, and not gooey or dense at all! I also used whole wheat flour! The trick is NOT to overmix, as it will cause the cake to develop lots of gluten and become gummy. It is also very critical that you do not OVER-MICROWAVE it! (Try cooking 30 sec first, then stick a toothpick in to see if it comes out clean. If not, then cook it longer) So remember that less is more.
Julia says
14th May 2012 at 7:24 pmI spent half an hour last night looking for a mug cake recipe. I have one thing to say after reading this post: I love you.
Erica says
14th May 2012 at 3:25 pmWhat is the icing in the pic? I definitely would want to add icing 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says

Judie says
6th January 2013 at 11:03 pmHi Katie, what is sugar-free powdered sugar? Is that the same as Splenda (loose in the bag)? If not, what it is called and where do you find this? Thanks!
Dawnie says
4th February 2016 at 3:13 pmPowdered sugar is the same as icing sugar in the UK.

14th May 2012 at 3:35 pmI LOOOOVE baking with coffee! Adds such great flavor! I just made some coffee banana bars and they are delicious!
Mallory @ Have Your Cake and Eat It says
14th May 2012 at 3:45 pmI’m totally with you, Katie. I definitely don’t want a big expensive wedding; in fact, if the time’s right and the person’s right – why not elope?! It would save everyone stress, money, and time! All for what – one day? Plus, 50% end in divorce, so no matter how you look at it, there’s a chance it won’t last. I guess you could say I’m a little cynical when it comes to marriage 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
14th May 2012 at 4:05 pmExactly! Put the extra money in savings and you can use it for something that’ll last much longer than one day!
(Of course, I know some people disagree and say that you get memories from the day so really it lasts more than one day, and therefore the money isn’t gone within a few hours.)
Samantha says
14th May 2012 at 4:07 pmI can’t be the only one who has attended a wedding with memories that probably everyone wishes wasn’t memorialized.
Erin says
14th May 2012 at 9:00 pmOh, this looks so good!
I actually really love the deviation from chocolate recipes. When you have a craving for chocolate, you can just eat a piece of chocolate… but you have to get creative for non-chocolate things 🙂
Shannon says
14th May 2012 at 9:06 pmThis is just what my Monday morning needed! I looove coffee cake, but even the vegan ones I’ve tried end up being a hazard to my health. I used oil and the microwave, and yes it came out “springy” but it was so delicious and quick, it didn’t matter. You’re a genius, Katie!
And on the topic of weddings – I’m getting married in a year and want to be at my top game health-wise, which is how I found your website! My sweet-tooth will never shut up, so healthy treats are my new jam.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
14th May 2012 at 10:53 pmAw I’m so excited you already tried it. And congrats on your upcoming wedding!! 🙂
Kelsey says
14th May 2012 at 9:23 pmI love your single-serving cake recipes! I make your chocolate microwave mug cake every day, and add a dollop of peanut butter to the middle of it before cooking. It’s heavenly! I’m super excited to try this recipe.
Samantha says
14th May 2012 at 11:44 pmI did a version of this one with peanut butter as the oil and it was incredible. I like your idea of just straight peanut butter in the middle of the chocolate one though too.
Sapphire says
14th May 2012 at 5:28 pmSeeing as how I just celebrated my 3rd wedding anniversary, I can safely say that I don’t have a “dream wedding” to plan. Perhaps a “dream wedding vow renewal” to work towards! *lol* Actually…that’s not a bad thing to start saving for!
The coffee cake looks good. I’ll have to get a few things, but I’m eager to try it, perhaps later this week. I usually do the single lady cupcakes in my pretty coffee cup (it gives them a nice shape), and I’ve been slathering them with the Reese’s Frosting. Excellent stuff. 🙂
Speaking of…I have Zumba tonight…I can afford some yummy chocolate. Time for a snack 🙂
Ms. Chanandler Bong :) says
19th May 2012 at 3:06 pmCongratulations on being married 3 years! That’s how long my sister and her husband have been married… Still seems like yesterday when we were standing on the beach, bawling our eyes out!
Haha, your Zumba comment made me laugh. That’s exactly the attitude I have! I mean, come on, we burn a LOT of calories, so why not have a little treat while sitting in front of the TV, watching Friends? 😉
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
19th May 2012 at 3:11 pmHighlight of my morning. Seeing your comment name.
We steal that tv guide every week!
Ms. Chanandler Bong :) says
10th August 2012 at 2:06 amWhoa, I just now saw your reply, 2 months later, haha. Anyway, I’m so happy since usually your blog posts are the highlight of my day!
I just saw the Slim Pickin’s Kitchen comment below and I instantly thought, “That’s so cheesy!” 😉
By the way, did you get to see the special preview for Matthew Perry’s new show last night? I can’t believe I forgot and chose yesterday to go to sleep early!
Coach Kelly @ Get Fit with Kelly! says
14th May 2012 at 9:54 pmI continue to be amazed…..I really thought the directions would include a microwave oven, and was pleasantly surprised that this can be made in the “regular” oven! Awesome! I really love your recipes, by the way. I keep forwarding links to my mom who is working on weight loss. And I’m *almost* convinced to be a vegan! LOL Just having a tough time giving up my cheese and eggs (we just got 9 hens for our backyard who should be laying by fall!)…..
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
14th May 2012 at 11:11 pmCheese was the hardest for me. I was obsessed. (Seriously, it was even part of my middle school screen name ;).) Oddly enough, now I don’t crave cheese at all.
And I actually like this recipe BETTER in the oven, so you’re in luck if you try it that way :).
Cheri @ The Watering Mouth says
14th May 2012 at 9:54 pmTHREE of my friends ARE getting married this summer which is crazy because they’re all happening at once. One of them is happening Friday actually, it’s fun to think about it and anticipate!
Thanks for the healthier version of these muffins: they look AWESOME. Luckily, people on Pinterest rarely make what they pin; it’s more for the food porn I think than real things people will make. Haha.
Kit-Kat says
14th May 2012 at 5:55 pmKatie,
You are such a genious to come up with delicious and healthy “bad for you” foods. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! And the pictures to the recipes are so awesome, too!!!!! I love you so much!
PS: When I have a wedding, you’ll be my caterer…. you’re hired, lol! 😀
Allison says
14th May 2012 at 9:57 pmI love this! It’s genius! And I’d way rather be pinning stuff like this, than imaginary wedding plans.
I have some friends who seem to be obsessed with weddings, and sadly enough they are very single.
Fun story from my mom’s wedding though: her flower girl started having a nosebleed all over right before the ceremony… Talk about a change in dress plans!
Heidi @ Food Doodles says
14th May 2012 at 9:59 pmWow, this looks fantastic for a mug cake. Going to try this – I need all the quick snacks and treats I can get with a new baby 😀
Emily says
14th May 2012 at 9:59 pmthis looks amazing! but it doesn’t have any coffee in it! i’m confused aha! love your recipes though, your single serving cakes have made my life! 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
14th May 2012 at 11:11 pmCoffee cake is just a cake that goes well with coffee. It doesn’t usually have coffee in it :).

14th May 2012 at 10:47 pmhmmmm just wondering about the pure stevia substitute – Just wanted to check if its 1/3 or 1/2 – maybe a little typo there!
Looks tasty as – I love coffee so can’t wait to try this 🙂
thanks for all your awesome recipes
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
14th May 2012 at 11:12 pmNope, that’s 1/32 tsp. It’s if you use pure, UNCUT stevia. If you’re using cut stevia, use 1/2 tsp.
Sandy says
15th May 2012 at 12:45 amWow – ok thanks! 🙂
I had never heard of the uncut stuff 🙂
I just made this for my morning tea break here in Sydney and I’m totally in LOVE with it!
Thanks
Sabrina says
15th May 2012 at 8:24 pmKatie, is the pure uncut stuff 100% stevia extract? I’ve got a bottle (it is a powder) from Trader Joe’s with the label “100% stevia extract” that I have never used and I always wonder if that is what you are referring to when you mention “uncut” stevia in your recipes? If not, then what is it and where can I find it?
P.S. I wanted to tell you that you look absolutely gorgeous in your mother’s day photo with your mom! 🙂

14th May 2012 at 11:30 pmI just made this in the microwave and it was INCREDIBLE! I love microwave mug cakes, and this is by far the best one I’ve ever tried- and it’s so easy. Thank you so much!

14th May 2012 at 8:44 pmOh my goodness. I’ve always wanted to try a mug cake but ~400 calories for a little cake that comes out spongey? No thank you!
Definitely trying this, thanks Katie!

15th May 2012 at 1:56 amOh my Katie, you’ve outdone yourself! This looks absolutely scrumptious.
Do you prefer the oven or microwave version?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
15th May 2012 at 12:35 pmOven baked goods will almost always have a better texture than microwaved ones, but the microwave is faster, so it’s a trade-off depending on what you’re looking for– best taste or convenience.
