Easy Mug Cake Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 6 tbsp spelt, white, or oat flour (or see the keto version above)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 1/2 tbsp granulated sweetener of choice
- 2 tbsp oil (the chocolate mug cake above has an oil free option)
- 6 tbsp water or milk of choice
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- If baking in an oven, preheat to 350 F. Grease one mug or two small ramekins very well. Stir all dry ingredients, add wet, and mix to form a batter. Either bake for 12 minutes or microwave until fluffy – my microwave took 2 minutes, but it will vary depending on your machine's wattage. Eat straight from the mug or let cool completely before going around the sides with a knife and popping out. Serve with whipped cream, ice cream, or anything you wish.View Nutrition Facts

This is such a cute, fun and easy recipe. I’ve always been scared to make a mug cake because I just heard that there are usually not as good. Since C*VID and all the failed trend recipes, I’ve been scared to attempt. I think I might give it another try with this recipe. Because I’m in college I think this recipe will work very well with dorm life. I’m a little hesitant but eager to try out this recipe. I hope you have a fantastic day and thank you so much again for posting this recipe.
