Ingredients
-
2 Tbsp (17 g)all-purpose flour
-
-
2 Tbsp (28 g)granulated sugar
-
¼ tspbaking powder
-
1 pinchsalt
-
3 Tbsp (45 mL)unsweetened soy milk
-
1 Tbsp (15 mL)vegetable oil
-
¼ tsp
Optional toppings
-
fresh mixed berries
-
powdered sugar
-
vegan ice cream
Directions
- In a large microwave-safe mug, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Then add the milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Using your fingers, press half of the chocolate into the middle of the cake batter in your mug. This is so you have some melted chocolate in the centre of your cake (yum!). Add the other half of the chocolate to the top of the batter.
- Microwave on high (800 - 900 W) for 2 minutes*, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. If the cake isn't cooked through yet, place it back in the microwave at intervals of 15 seconds.
- Let the mug cake cool slightly, add your desired toppings, and enjoy!
Notes
- * If preferred, bake it in an oven-safe dish at 350°F (180°C) for 15 - 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Storage
- Best if enjoyed immediately.
- Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1 day.

Came out perfect! I have a higher watt microwave and reduced the cook time by 30 seconds.
It definitely tastes and feels cakey. It just hits the spot! I think it'd also be nice served with a bit of soy cream too
So good and just the thing I needed to help with my sweet tooth!
Yummy <3
Hello Sadia.
My absolute favourite, I am a chocolate lover and my kids tonight . We keep making Thai weekly 😅😅. My 7th old son just made this himself with my assistance. I just wish we were able to share pictures too . Thank youuu xxx
This is by far the best cake I have tasted!!! It is so simple to make, literally only takes five minutes. I am a person who craves cake all the time, but just do not want to make a whole cake. LOVE the melting rich chocolate in the middle! I used a bowl instead of a mug. I could not believe it only takes 2 min in the microwave！It is incredibly chocolatey and fluffy, the perfect texture. Thanks so much Sadia and PUL team!!!
.
so simple and delicious, I love your recipe and your style of baking!!
Yummm!!!! N so easy to make!!
Very easy to make and great for those days where we feel like eating some sweets!
Amazing! Love the simplicity and how quickly this comes together. Thank you Sadia for saving time and money by avoiding going out for a sugary, expensive treat! Even the batter is yummy :)
Just did this tonight. Highly recommend!
So good!! Your recipes are all so delicious! I’m so happy I decided to go with the yearly subscription for the app. This is one of the best money spent in my family. You all have increased our life satisfaction significantly via providing these yummy recipes :) Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Delicious and so way to make 🥰
Really delicious, chocolaty, fluffy, rich. Easy to prepare as well (I made it in the oven).
I love this recipe, it’s so easy and yummy 💞
Best mug cake !
Amazing!
Delicious! so easy to make with few ingredients. I use half the sugar recommended and make when craving unhealthy things, always hits the spot and I love knowing not full of sugar or highly processed.
Would oat flour work instead of all purpose flour?
Such a delightful dessert to have when you want to make something quick! The cake comes out moist and fluffy.
This was excellent! I’ve already made it so many times, I memorized the recipe 😂
Holy chocolate! That’s delicious! I soooo needed this right now!
Love this. Was craving something sweet after dinner and this was just perfect. Requires pantry staples and tastes delicious. ❤️
Made this twice in two days, it’s incredible! Better than the egg versions I used to make earlier!
Really yummy 😋
Ooommmgggggg amazinnng
So creamy with the chocolate inside 🥰
Sooo good, I usually have a hard time getting mug cakes right, but this recipe helped me get the right consistency. Truly a delight. Thanks PUL team for making recipes that never disappoint!
Super moist, fluffy and super easy in just two minutes! I added a small handful of dark chocolate chips and some roasted peanuts for crunch. I loved this recipe so much that I will be adding to my rotation of snacks ^~^
Amazing! I put cocoa oil in the vegetable oil, I love it.
I was quite sceptical when I first saw it. Then I tried. And it works perfectly. I decreased the sugar and oil quantities because I made it for my 8 yo, yet still it worked! Thanks!
Amazing and so quick and easy! My new favourite dessert
Bestttttt 😍😍
it was amazing! something that I would love to make again and again this recipe involves very simple ingredients that anybody can find in their pantry. my daughter is just 14 and she makes this like a pro!
its delicious and simple to make thank you so much!!!
Soo delicious!
So good! I used date sugar instead of granulated, skipped the salt, and used applesauce instead of oil, and it still turned out great!
Such a great recipe. It was absolutely divine.
Amazing! Great for a quick and easy treat! Yum 😋
My 10 year old son loves making this! He also helped his little brother make one and both of them loved it. They used some of their halloween mini-chocolates to put inside.

Used an air fryer and adjusted the recipe a little bit but it was lovely 🥰
Always good after a long stressful day ❤️
I have yet to find a PUL recipe that just doesn't work! This mug cake is so decadent and filling, perfect for an afternoon snack with some tea :) I ended up adding a bit of orange zest instead of the vanilla extract and it came out just perfect!
Made today and used apple sauce in place of the oil just to see if it would still work and be good. Success! Delicious!!
Awesome recipe, really comforting especially in those glacial times in France ❄️ the mixture was a little bit drier at the bottom of the mug; was it because I overheated it ? Or maybe I did not mix it enough before heating it ?
Thank you for this amazing recipe 🥰✨
Really good and easy to make. Used water instead of milk because I ran out and reduced the sugar by a bit. Was delicious and satisfied my chocolate cake craving :)
Delicious! Used an orange flavoured chocolate in the middle for a change and worked great. I tend to scale the quantity down and find it doesn't need as much time to cook that way so only do a minute to keep it nice and moist
It’s delicious! My nine year old daughter made it.
J'ai bien fait de ne pas mettre tout le sucre, ça aurait été trop à mon goût
So easy and so good. How?? Loved it!!
I love this recipe for lazy evenings. It's super easy to make and extremely delicious. Perfect for chocolate cravings!
Made with my 2 and 5 year old, a hit! And no worries about eating raw dough.
The best mug cake! Even better with raspberries :)
Yummy scrummy! Trying to keep our house junk free and eat mostly unprocessed foods. Wanted cake and this recipe is delicious. I used cacao in the recipe. Love how fast the recipe was. 🥰
I’ve never made a mug cake and wasn’t sure how it would come out. I was worried that it would burn but kept an eye on it. Luckily it came out perfectly. It satisfied my sweet tooth. The only problem is that I might want to make these mug cakes all the time now, like every night. Lol…
This is so decadent and delicious plus my kids really loved making it with me ☺️ I did have to reduce the microwave time to not over bake and we added vegan caramel/toffee bits… scrumptious!
I make this all the time! Love it!!
Love it!
tweaked the recipe to 1 1/2 tbsp oil and added 3tbsp flour and only 1 tbsp cocoa powder to dull that flavour and make it more moist. Also subbed choc chips for raspberries and added vegan nutella on top. I’ve also tried it with biscoff spread which seems to work best added after cooking.
Amazing!!!
Just what I needed after this week of sickness and pushing through… I had to add more milk and oil cause it was very dry, and just microwaved a minute, perfection 🤩 Thank you for this 💜
Looove this recipe! I come back to it again and again
Delicious !
By the second time backing this mug cake, I replaced the chocolate pieces with frozen raspberries.... Yummy.
Hello, this just hits the stop! Thank you so much! Love the website, app and your videos. X
it was SO GOOD, I used rapeseed oil and pea milk as subs, but my whole family loved it including me!
First time making a mug cake and now I know why they are so popular! This recipe was simple and so delicious with a scoop of ice cream.
Delicious! Comes out perfect every time.
hello, wanted to check if we can reduce the amount of liquid to make it more like a brownie?
This is sooooooo good and sooooooo easy! It's a decadent dessert that doesn't leave "the rest of the cake" on the counter to tempt you each time you walk by! Will definitely make this again!!
Super simple and delicious!
I love being able to make a single serve cake when I don’t feel like making a whole cake. So tasty
Very tasty 😋😋😋
This was awesome! Had some chocolate chips and dolloped a decent chunk of peanut butter on top after cooking it, chef's kiss!
This recipe will never get old ❤️
So good 😭
I made it yesterday and it was delicious. But the mug I have is quite big. I was wondering if I can put the ingredients of 2 servings in 1 cup. And if so, do I need to change the cooking time?
Delicious!
super delicious even when subbing water in for the milk!!
My kids beg me for this mug cake at least one a week now 😁
its so good! be really carful not to burn it. i used water instead of milk and its amazing.
Best mug cake recipe ever - it never fails! I love adding a little peanut butter or lotus biscoff spread the centre of the batter if I don’t have any chocolate in. So good!
Very fast and tasteful dessert.
This was so quick, easy, and yummy! It was so rich and decadent. I topped it with some diced peaches, hemp hearts, coconut shreds, drizzle of almond butter, and some cinnamon. It was heavenly and hit the spot. 🤤
So fast and so yummy for a quick chocolate craving! Love it!
I’ve made this so many times and absolutely love it. Incase anyone wonders for themselves, it works really well with gluten free flour!
My first try at a microwave cake! So easy and tasty :)
Loved this receipe! Made for a potluck contribution and came out so good. Thanks PUL :)
I tried all of them (mug cake recipes), but this one is far the best of them. Top!
Amazing recipe. Teaching my 7 year old how to make this for the family.
Fantastic recipe! I made it even easier by substituting the flour and leavening with store bought gluten free pancake mix. Worked like a charm. Added some fresh cherries too. Thanks for a wonderful addition to my day
Loved it
This cake is my go-to when I need something sweet to make my day better. It always works!!
This is the best mug cake!
Second time making this! Such a quick and easy recipe when I’m craving cake! I reduce the cooking time by 15 seconds when I’m not adding chocolate and it is perfect! Moist, chocolatey and perfect amount for one.
Tastes good but i found it a little dry
I reyes it without the chocolate in the middle, and it was good, a little dry without chocolate, but it was still good! Since the recipe was designed to have chocolate in the middle! God bless you have an awesome day, and Jesus loves u all, more than you know! ❤️
it doesn’t make that much
This is so delicious! I need to be more patient next time as mine wasn’t fully cooked in the first 2 mins so I turned up the heat and cooked it for another minute and ended up burning it a bit. Still so tasty though! I added a dash of cinnamon and instant coffee granules and it was amazing.
I'm enjoying this one right now. Mmmm so sweet and chocolaty 🫠 Tomorrow's my birthday and I'm going to celebrate with just one friend. One mug cake per person will be enough so I decided to test this chocolate version. Maybe I'll make a different one tomorrow, we'll see 😉
My family and I loved this recipe!
I love it.
It's very easy and tasty!
thank you :)
This is one of my favourite recipes to make when I crave something sweet. Love all your recipes Sadia. Healthy and tasty. Most of my cooking is inspired from your recipes. ❤️
Wow,will try it today
I love all PUL recipes, despite not being vegan :)
I wanted to make this choc mug cake today, can I just sub GF flour to make it GF? Thanks! :)
All of Pick up Limes mug cakes are my go to for a delicious, easy treat. Soo Yummy, and the best way to treat yourself. Thank you for sharing these and making mug cakes actually taste great!
TBH this is the only chocolate mug cake that meets my standards. the texture actually comes out soft & fluffy, unlike so many other mug cakes that i've tried! i also love the chocolate centre hehe. hands down, one of my favourite midnight snacks!
I LOVE this recipe! This is my first time making it and I made 3 mugs in 1 day! (I gave 2 to my mum and dad to have and they ADORED it!!!!!)
Do you think you could make a food recipe for people who have major allergies such as dairy, gluten and nuts, like me?
I am in the Netherlands; it's Sunday, is rainy...so I just made this cake: DELICIOUS!
I added dark hazelnuts chocolate, and I love it 😊
This is incredible!!! Thank you so much for sharing :)
This was yummy!
Made all of the PUL mug cakes various times- they are UNFAILABLE*!
Even replacing the wheat flour for rice or corn flour or mixing up the taste-giving-ingredient (chocolate, berries, banana) for whatever else is at hand - it still works perfectly and tastes glorious.
*(correct word infallible)
Made a gluten free version with Ragi flour and it was just as amazing! ♥️
Sooo good!
Amazing and so easy!
Hands down the best mug cake recipe I’ve ever tried!
Delicious - both in texture and in flavor! And I'm picky, trust me ;) haha
The only thing I'd like to note is that it's portioned out for a small-medium mug, not a big one. I'll definitely make it again soon!
So genius! We're obsessed!
This was delicious! Slightly dry, but next time I’ll add more milk.
I was stuck in a hotel during covid....I was craving for cake or any vegan dessert..I actually showed ur recipe video to the chef and he made the mug cake for me...thanks a lot
Yum!
This was quick and easy and super delicious! Thank you!
I was actually surprised that the instructions were so clear. I love the mug cake but it also took me quite a long time to buy the soy milk, baking powder and Dutch processed cocoa.
As good as u can buy in a supermarket.
U can be creative with the ingredients
I added blueberries and matcha powder. And I used 'hagelslag' I stead of blocks chocolate. Also I put a little kefir and regular milk instead of plant based milk.
Super yummy 😋
Love this quick and simple recipe! It’s become one of my regular late night treats and always hits the spot 🥰
Thank you for another delicious recipe
I'd love to try but I don't want to use any vegetable oil. What could I use as a substitute? I love watching your YouTube channel. You have such a lovely soothing voice!
Perfection 🥰
Thank you so much for this recipe - its fab. So delicious and its a good job it only makes one portion as I would eat far too much otherwise!
This has become a regular favorite in our house, I now know know the recipe out of my head! It’s so quick and easy,
Made this tonight and loved it! I replaced the dark chocolate with vegan chocolate hazelnut spread and it was divine. Thanks for the great recipe!
This recipe was beautiful! It tasted amazing and only took about 5 minutes to make! Would highly recommend this to anyone having an intense sweet craving =)
Love love loved this! Did the chocolate mug cake with my fiancee for our 4 year anniversary and it was a hit! I like a lighter cake so I put a tiny splash more of oat milk so that it was fluffier. Sooooo yummy thank you so much!
This was lovely, thanks Pick Up Limes team! I realised half way through I was out of oat milk so just used water and replaced the oil with a butter substitute to try and keep some of the creamyness, still worked! 😅
Super quick, easy and delicious
Really easy to make and incredibly delicious!!!
I make this but with date sugar... SO GOOD!
Very quick and simple and it tastes pretty nice.
We made this on our winter holiday some months ago and it was such fun! I was real surprised how you can make a cake in the microwave. Great and fun recipe!
This cake is supposed to just be easy and quick to make, and it totally is!! But it is also the best recipe on a chocolate cake, that I’ve ever made. Both me and my husband loves it.
Easy recipe to follow and so yummy! Perfect for curbing my sweet tooth in the evenings. :)
Really loved this recipe, almost a go-to dessert in winter - don't skip the two pieces of chocolate in the middle and on the top, they really make a lot difference! Also I tried soy milk, almond milk and oat milk, I think the almond milk works the best for me.
I love this recipe, it's my go-to whenever I need a quick little something to pamper myself :) It's moist and delicious, and so easy to make, since I always have all the ingredients at home. I actually always use cacao instead of cocoa (1 tbsp of cacao is the perfect amount) and lower down on sugar a bit ;)
Followed the recipe exactly. My results were tasty, but the cake didn’t rise and was a bit dry and dense. Ate with vegan ice cream. 👍🏼
My boyfriend call this the “hot chocolate cake”. It is delicious!!!
I absolutely love this recipe, watching Pick up Limes on YouTube is one of my favorite things to do and when I came across this recipe I quickly jumped onto the website, so simple and delicious and a perfect mid-day treat. Also thank you so much to the PUL team for all your efforts as I came out with a milk and egg allergy a couple of years back and as a vegetarian by choice, I thought being fully vegan would cause me so many issues but your channel has really supported me throughout my journey ! Thanks so much :)
Is it okay if i skip vanilla extract and put maple syrup in it??
Do you need to use Dutch processed cocoa powder specifically or can you use any kind of cocoa powder? Can you use regular extra virgin olive for the vegetable oil? I want to try to use items that I already have in the pantry as opposed to buying more specific stuff I might not use again..
This is a really quick, easy and delicious cake. I made it with coconut oil, unsweetened coconut beverage, 1 tbsp of coconut sugar and 1 tbsp of cane sugar. It was perfect and moist! Thank you for sharing this, I will be making it again and again!
This is the perfect snack when I want something sweet!
I started making the recipe and realized I had no milk so I just used water instead and it came out suuper light and fluffy! Honestly tasted better than the chocolate cake I bought from the cute bake shop last month !! 😂💗
I tried this recipe as I felt like having chocolate cake in mid night. I loved it. I used oat milk instead of soy milk. I taste’s delicious 😋. I did made a couple next day and shared with my friends, they loved it.
Delicious!
That's a very good recipe. I followed it to the t, and it turned out delicious.
So yummy 🤤, I didn’t have plant basses milk, so I just used cows milk and instead of chocolate I used frozen strawberries which tasted really goood, I definitely recommend using strawberries if you want to try something new👍👍👍
I've tried to use water instead of milk onse, it's cheaper, and I liked it even more 😊 try if you want. It tastes more like a soft cookies 😋
I LOVED this recipe! I thought it was delicious 😋 I was a little worried for putting it in for 2 min but it was fine and raised perfectly! I also used normal milk instead of cant which I found works great also. I do Encourage others to use this recipe as it takes little time to make. 10/10 would make this mug cake again mug ☕️ 🍰
Ciao cara, ammiro il tuo lavoro e con quanta passione lo fai. Mi piacciono tutte le tue ricette. Ti ringrazio per queste torte in tazza perché sono le migliori che ho provato. Grazie mille 🌹🌹🌹
Wonderful!! This is my go to quick dessert. I enjoy it often using gf flour and microwaving only 1 min 30 seconds.
My husband & I LOVE this recipe for a quick dessert option, late at night! Peanut Butter, Jelly, Double Chocolate, with or without ice cream, it just WORKS! Thanks for this scrumptious vegan dessert recipe.
Absolutely loved this! It's so simple and quick to make and soooo delicious! I added some raisins soaked in rum which gave it a kick :) and topped it off with some blueberries.
Also I absolutely love the website and new features! From a software developer's point of view it's amazing work & super user friendly :) congrats on that ❤
Amazing Mug Cake! This recipe was delicious and will definitely be used again. It can be adjusted for Non-vegans making it the right recipe for me. Thank you for this delectable creation!
The best mug cake I have had. so tasty! I enjoy topping it with peanut butter, honey or ginger syrup.
Must note the website is extremely thought out. The serving size button, picture's and allergies at the top. Clear, clean and free. Thank you for this wonderful creation!
I tried it and was supremely delicious but is there any suggestion on what type of vegetable oil we should use?
I tried coconut oil but there was this smell of coconut. but the taste, the texture, color everything came so well. Thank you for this recipe I personally liked it som much!!!
Hi PUL team, I tried the recipe out as I'm thinking of serving this at a dinner party with friends and it turned out very tasty, but my mug was big, so it was a half-a-mug cake for me :). Probably gonna try a smaller cup or ramekins for guests.
My question is can the batter be mixed up ahead of time and just popped in the microwave once we are ready for dessert, or will the baking powder react with the wet ingredients and cause the cakes to not rise when cooked if the batter sits too long?
Delicious! I've made this every evening the past week and it's now one of the highlights of my day. Some variations I've tried include adding in ground coffee, cinnamon or topping with berry chia jam. I love that it can be made in 5 minutes!
Incredible, A ready-to-eat spoon of heaven(Chocolate)!!
Yummyy! Came out very well.
Love pickup limes!
Amazing! Would definitely say it’s like a chocolate fudge cake! Mmm!
I made this tonight, I wanted something sweet and this was perfect! I made it with gluten free flour and coconut sugar and it turned out really good!
I will definitely be making this again! Thank you Sadia :)
Absolutely delicious! Made it for the first time today and it was SO GOOD (like everything PUL). Will definitely have to try the other mug cakes because it's just the perfect thing to satisfy that sweet tooth :) Going to be my new go-to quick dessert. Thank you!
Just divine 😁 just what I need on an afternoon to regain energy to play with my little one! I just used rye flour and coconut sugar instead.
This is a super popular and successful recipe, no wonder it had 5 stars from 77 reviews. It turned out great with me! Before I saw this recipe, I followed the exact same recipe except that it said 3 tbsp of all-purpose flour and not 2. This one proved to be much much better and more successful. Thank you so much!
Also, I have a question: can I also use self-raising flour at times instead of all-purpose? Will the outcome be better? Take your time in giving me your answer, I am always available. Have a good day!
Whenever I feel like something sweet this is my go-to...
Love this recipe :)
Thank you so much this is AMAZING!!! Would it work if I used almond flour?
My absolute favourite
My go to mug cake ❤
Simply the best mug cake recipe! I used oat milk instead of soy and it turned out delicious.
First ever mug cake recipe i found the motivation to make since it looked the best, and I loved the ingredients to boot - and oh man, was this so good!!!! I will say with all the other recipes out there mug cake, why should we overly complicate it? Not having eggs and milk on hand, and having to melt butter, not only defeats the purpose of something quick and easy, but definitely (after tasting this), is totally unnecessary if I do say so myself!! I love this, will definitely keep on hand!💕 Side note for my experience; i switched the milk to Almond, did a combo of olive oil and canola, and broke up mini Ghirardelli chocolate bars into chunks and viola! Absolutely delicious!✨✨ Thank you for the recipe, and I love the site and will explore the rest of your awesome recipes!! 💛
This recipe comes out perfect! Nice and moist and fluffy! I know its lazy but I almost want to experiment with making a whole spoon cake in the microwave with this recipe.
This is such a neat idea. The double chocolate cake turned out really good. As someone who loves to bake a layered cake, I enjoyed making this with my kiddo! So good. Thank you for sharing.
Yummy!! This was a perfect and comforting soft treat after my root canal 😊 We used spelt flour and it turned out very yummy. The mug cake was pretty big though! Next time make sure you have someone to share with 👯♀️
This was the first mug cake I've ever made and it was perfect. I used Oat Milk. I actually didn't have cocoa powder, but I've had a huge tub of Starbucks hot cocoa mix, that is likely 1/2 cocoa and 1/2 sugar. So I followed the recipe and subbed the 2tbsp cocoa + 2tbsp sugar for 4tbsp Starbucks hot cocoa mix and it was perfect, the texture was surprisingly good and it came together so fast! I didn't add chocolate squares to make it double chocolate, I was content with just single chocolate I suppose. Great recipe Sadia!
I tried the chocolate mug cake with some fresh strawberries tonight. Loved it! Super easy and delicious. Hits the spot! I love that I can just pop it in the microwave. Love your videos too.
Which gluten free flower would you suggest as a substitute to all purpose?
Oh just lovely! I just watched your YouTube video of 5 different mug cake recipes! Went with chocolate! Watched until the end of the video where you shared your website and how you can "cross" each direction off the list! Knew I would like that! So I clicked on the link! Had some SPECIAL dark cocao powder in the cabinet! Followed the directions and now I'm enjoying this warm chocolate cake in a mug! Thanks for sharing!
Love this recipe perfect for the afternoon sweet fix. I am gluten free| dairy free| Processed sugar free so I made a few adjustments +Used Bob’s Redmill 1-1 GF replacement flour same measurements + cacao + 3 TBSP Maple syrup instead of sugar. It worked great and had the cake texture of a chocolate lava cake. Love these mug cakes way to go making these, also perfect after school snacks for the healthier ones. You guys rock! Keep up the Amazing work.
❤️👏😍 simplesmente amo todas essas receitas maravilhosas deliciosas que nos ensina 🍃🌿😊🤗
Hey Sadia!
This recipe is probably the best recipe for a mug cake I have ever come across. And the fact that it is vegan is amazing. Can you tell me if I can double the recipe and if so what the time would be, still 2 mins?
So easy and delicious!
Absolutely delicious! A winner
Truly the best mug I have ever made.
Alternatives I used:
-Coconut sugar instead of granulated,
-Almond milk instead of soy,
-Nearly 3 tbsp of oat flour instead of all-purpose and
-2 tbsp of dark chocolate chips.
SO EPIC.
Delicious! It feels a bit magical that you can get such a nice, fluffy cake with just a couple minutes in the microwave! I threw a few halved cherries into the mix, which was a great addition.
Such a perfect recipe for a single dessert for a late night sweet tooth. We don’t keep a lot of sweets at the house but this is a perfect single serving to enjoy a sweet treat!
I keep this bookmarked to make myself whenever I need a pick me up.
O melhor bolo de caneta que já fiz, nem parece que é feito no microondas, fica perfeito ❤
Made this a while ago and loved it! One was enough for 2 of us
10/10 totally recommend
This legitimately takes me 5 minutes to prepare! I personally use regular 2% milk because I don’t have vegan dairy but it comes out perfectly all the same :))
you NEED to try this, take it from me ;)
I've made all the mug cakes from the video and they're all unbelievably delicious. Just WOW. When I first made the chocolate one I felt like eating a regular amazing warm brownie which I've never felt with mug cakes before. Great job, thank you!!! <3
This recipe is super delicious! One thing I like to do is sub out some of the cocoa powder for powdered peanut butter!
This is delicious and so quick to make!! Perfect for satisfying chocolate cravings instantly 💛🤤
Delish!
At first I was very skeptical about mug cakes but it turned out amazing! quick and satisfying :)
I have never trusted any mug cake recipe before but when I saw PUL had a recipe I thought if I was ever going to try a recipe, it would be Sadia's. I have made so many PUL recipes and not a single one has failed me, so I had to give this recipe a shot. I'm so super happy I did because I have lost count how many times I've made this recipe for me and my family, it is the absolute best thing for a desperate last minute chocolate fix! Thank you so so much!!!
Microwave mug cakes don’t always work with me but this recipe worked every time. It’s my go to for when I’m craving something sweet or chocolatey and it tastes so good for the little effort you put in!
This really also does work great for a spontanious movie night with friends. Like everything usually is in my cabinets and it is put together so quickly that people visiting randomly and unannounced will always feel like you have been sitting there waiting for them to share this amazing mug cakes with them :D
Also really lifts my mood whenever I had a bad day ^^ It jsut tastes like heaven.
One of the best mug cakes recipes ever. This is my go-to for a quick sweet snack.
Usually I substitute about 6 grams of the flour with vegan hazelnut protein powder and it's amazing.
This is my go to everytime I want a quick and easy chocolate cake. I use gluten free flower and it works perfectly
Delicious! My favorite chocolate mug cake I've ever tried!
So good. So fast. So easy. My go-to dessert when I want some chocolate! :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe and it is soooo easy to use! I use oat milk and have used regular brown sugar and is just as YUMMO! Thanks for all the amazing recipes.
Such a delicious mug cake! I’ve made it multiple times and once with gluten free flour I needed to use up and it worked really well with that too :)
Just tried this - LOVED it! This is the first mug cake recipe that's really worked for me - will forever be indebted for that!
I've already made this double chocolate mug cake so many times. Just a quick desert or when you want some cake, but you're the only one eating. I've previously made microwave mug cakes with egg, and they weren't nice, but couldn't find an eggless recipe I trusted. But the you cane along and there was so much deliciousness.
Because the mug cake ist heavy on the dark side, I enjoy it with an scoop of vanilla ice cream. Thank you so much for sharing
I've tried the double choc and the blueberry mug cakes and they were both quick and simple to prepare and yummy to eat. When you want something sweet but not necessarily a whole cake hanging around to tempt you afterwards, these are just perfect. I will be making them again.
this mug cake was stunning... an absolute recommend 🤎
This is so gooood !
Recette simple, rapide et délicieuse !
Un petit plaisir du soir bien apprécié ^^
This is the BEST mug cake and is so quick to make!
Oh my goodness the number of times I have reached for this recipe to satisfy my late night sweet tooth. So easy and yummy!
The BEST mug cake I have ever made. So chocolates and decadent. Thank you for this gift!!
Most of the mug cakes I've tried previously have been gooey so I was just convinced microwaves can't make a good mug cake! But I tried this one last night when I was still peckish after dinner and it was INCREDIBLE - the texture is exactly like an oven-baked cake. It cooked perfectly even in my terrible microwave :) 2 tablespoons of sugar sounds like a lot but the resulting cake wasn't sweet at all, it resembled dark chocolate. Sadia's mug cakes are my go-to babysitting activity when it's night time and they want a snack before bed!
Esto se ha convertido en una adicción 🤤🤤
This was amazing! Very light yet chocolatey enough. I did chocolate chips instead of the nugget in the middle like you did. I've made a few mug cakes before and they've always been a bit gummy, perhaps from the egg. Even my fiance was impressed!
Soooo good & so easy! I add a few pieces of chopped crystallised ginger to make it super grown-up. Still can’t decide between this or the PB & J as my favourite - both are winners!
Life saving when a chocolate craving hits, and the first mugcake recipe I've tried that actually worked!
Sadia, we loved the chocolate mug cake!! Baked it with my 3yr old and he was jumping more than me once the cake baked. I didn't have flour at home so substituted with almond flour and it was delicious. Thank you so much for sharing the wonderful recipe. Will try the other mug cakes.
Made the chocolate mug cake for the family and OMG - better than any posh vegan desserts everrrrr. You are amazing, thank you for this!
Love this recipe! I have been trying mug cakes recipes for a few weeks now and this one is hands down my favorite. I used gluten-free powder, cacao powder, hemp milk, and used half raw cane sugar and half swerve sweetener. I also added walnuts and the mug cake was DELICIOUS. Warm, chocolatey, a little gooey and a slight crunch with the walnuts. Topped it off with some soy vanilla ice cream and *chef's kiss* perfect. lol
I would love to make these recipes they look delicious I don't have a microwave. we believes that they're unhealthy for you. Can I use an oven in a different pan with the same directions or similar I'm not that good of a baker. so following your recipes have been awesome to me because they're so easy to follow and do myself!
I've made mug cakes before but they NEVER tasted like this! I can't believe how delicious this was. I had the Vegan Protein Lettuce Wraps for dinner and needed something chocolate after and HELLO! This was so simple and delicious, I can't wait to try the other mug cake recipes!
Hi!! Loved seeing these mug cakes being made by you! They looked so easy that thought of trying a couple of them....& they came out WONDERFUL. Simply loved the chocolate & the peanut butter- blueberry mug cakes. Thanks for these lovely easy & yummy recipes.
What an incredible recipe. I've made it a few times now since you've posted it, five or so, and made it for my partner as well and we both love it. We keep buying vanilla soy milk, so that's what we used. It's sooo gooood!
Made this amazing cake! Love the feature of changing the serving size ❤️ Though the mug cake tasted really nice and chocolate-y, mine turned out to be a little dry and crusty....any reason why that happened?
What a great recipe! 5 minutes total, no dishes, delicious. I don't have much of a sweet tooth and haven't had cake in 10 years or more. I've made this 10 times since you posted it.
It's *perfect* as written. But I couldn't help but play with it. 90 seconds was ideal in my microwave (unsure of the wattage). Gluten-free flour worked great for my gluten-free sister. I tried swapping apple sauce for the oil and it kind of worked. I've added cherries (dried and fresh), espresso powder, black and English walnuts, and vegan marshmallows (oops, they exploded). I'll try crushed candy canes when they're in season.
Thank you, thank you!
*Thanks*
Incredible,Sadia,I tried it yesterday. It's amazing. Just that I am not vegan. So I made it non-vegan.
By replacing the plant-based milk with regular milk. It still tasted yummy!
This for the amazing recipe!!!
So easy and delicious! I used wholemeal flour and it turned out perfectly. Thank you PUL for these amazing recipes (and website UX wow)
This was a wonderful dessert. I topped it with frozen berries and they made it so much more delicious.
Can’t wait to try this but I was wondering what kind of sugar you use, it looks light brown. Is it brown sugar? When I see a recipe for granulated sugar I think of regular white sugar? By the way love your recipes, you are very talented!
Just made the chocolate mug cake, and oh it’s so easy and sooo good! I only had brown sugar and it turned out well. The Amazon links are also super helpful. I get an idea of the brands you use and I can get them from the supermarket. Thank you!
This looks good but I would love to see salt oil & sugar free recipes. Thank you
Awesome! I used Bobs Red Mill Gluten Free flour and coconut sugar, it worked out great! Thank you for these amazing recipes!
Love it! Soft, chocolatey with that extra melted chocolate ! Best easy mug cake
This is so yummy! We are gluten free in our household so I used Bobs Redmill One to One GF flour. Worked perfectly! Love it!
Ads are really annoying. Shame you have them, I loved pick up limes for not doing that...
Wow this was so easy and delicious!! I used coconut milk, which gave it a super strong coconut flavor - would probably try oat milk or something else next time. This is so perfect for when you have a random dessert craving but don't have anything at home to satisfy it :)
I want to try making this with my kids. Any suggestion on healthier alternate flour options? Could these be made with oat flour and still turn out yum?
Tried the chocolate one as well as the blueberry one with a glutenfree flour mixture and they both turned out delicious!!! Thanks for the quick easy and delicious recipes.
My 7 year old made this and it was super easy. We found that the cocoa was too over powering. Maybe the taste is suitable for adults. Will reduce cocoa next time. Thanks for sharing.
I love your channels an recipes and especially the relationship to food you help other people to build!
Still I have to say I'm disappointed that you're supporting amazon, I have the feeling it doesn't really fit with everything else the channel stands for
Amazing! I love it :) It's a great idea... especially when you want eat something sweet or you have unexpected guests ;)
Also this mug cake is really yum!
omg omg omg this new website IS IT!!<3 <3
So tasty on a cold Sunday afternoon! I added sea salt on top while it was hot...yum!
We always have to travel quite far to get some chocolate muffins. I had never thought I could make one on my own. My boyfriend and I just made one this morning following your recipe and we couldn't believe how quick, easy, and tasty it is! You guys are truly amazing. Thank you so much PUL!! <3
The best quick desert recipe ever! Super delicious. I used coconut milk and rice flour and came out incredible. Will do it again for sure, thank you so much.
These were amazing! Super easy to make and accurate measurements too!
Mug cakes have only ever brought me heartbreak and disappointment. However, yesterday when my partner was craving cake but we were both feeling too lazy and comfy to go to the store, I remebered this video. THEY WERE SO GOOD!!! He tried the banana, replacing the flaxseed with almond butter and it was so moist and yummy. I tried the chocolate one and loved that I got to customize it for my medical needs by taking out salt and reducing sugar. I topped it with fresh berries and a drizzle of almond butter and our night got 1000% cozier! Thank you so much!
I tried many pick-up limes recipes and enjoyed them all, but sadly didn't have luck with this one! Tried to bake it twice, using different mugs and decreasing temperature from 800w to 650w, but each time a piece of chocolate placed inside turned into a piece of charcoal, while the texture of the rest was perfectly fluffy... Any suggestions how to avoid it?
OMG it actually works! Took me three minutes in total and it tastes so so good. Thank you so much!
I watched the video and knew I had to try this recipe ASAP. I didn't have any bar chocolate, so I just left it out. I accidentally added a 1/2 tsp of vanilla, but it's fine because I love vanilla. I used almond milk because it's what I have. I also want to try subbing some of the milk for brewed coffee, because I hear that is a good flavor combination: coffee and chocolate. And my microwave is 1000 watts, so I only had to microwave it for about 1 minute and 15 seconds. It was SO fluffy and delicious! Probably one of the best mug cake recipes I have ever tried. Thank you so much! I will be trying the Peanut Butter and Jelly Mug Cake later!
Love it! I used oat milk and it turned out excellent. Actually got nervous it “wasn’t enough “ but ended up very full and left a couple bites in the mug.
My new favorite!
Double Chocolate Mug Cakes are so easy and delicious! So enjoyed your newest video and absolutely love your new website.
This looks so good, as do the other mug receipes! I am really trying to avoid oils. Is there a substitution that could work? Would apple sauce work? Or any suggestion if I'm trying to avoid oils?
This was so delicious!! The mug cake was easy to make, and it came out perfectly light and fluffy.
I actually watched the new video as I was eating lunch (potato and green pea curry via PUL, of course) and decided I could do with something sweet. Didn't have a microwave, didn't have sprinkles, didn't have an oven-safe mug, so I used my oven, threw in some dark chocolate chunks, and used a bowl and it turned out great - just the right quantity and also the right amount of sweet, warm vanilla-ey (?) goodness!
What do you do if you don't have a microwave? These look so delish! Thank you!
