What is a Mug Cake?
A Mug Cake is a single-serve dessert gaining popularity for its easy preparation and quick method. Most mug cakes are microwaved and therefore need minimal time, from a few seconds up to just a few minutes of cooking.
Mug cake is usually made with a mixture of flour, fat, and a raising agent, with all the ingredients mixed, baked, and served in a single cup or mug.
Topped with either fruits, icing, whipped cream, or sprinkles, they are a perfect quick and easy dessert when in a hurry.
Although our recipe uses a Microwave method in less than 45 seconds, you can use an oven if you wish.
Simply follow the instructions and fill the mixture into an oven-safe mug or ramekin.
Bake in a preheated oven at 190 Celsius or 370 Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE CAKE IN A MUG
First Step: Prepare Ingredients for Chocolate Mug Cake
Prepare all the ingredients for making the best Keto Chocolate Cake in a Mug.
In our case, it is blanched almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, butter, sweetener of your choice, an egg, and vanilla extract.
Second Step: Mix in Butter with Sweetener
Let us start first by mixing better together with a sweetener.
I have picked a bowl as it is much easier to mix it in.
Third Step: Add other Ingredients
Once sweetener and butter are mixed, you can slowly add other ingredients.
Add one egg and whisk together. Add a few drops of vanilla extract and whisk together.
The same goes for blanched almond flour and cinnamon.
Fourth Step: Cocoa and Baking Powder
Once all the above is mixed, you can add cocoa powder and baking powder as the last ingredients.
Mix everything until thoroughly combined.
Fifth Step: Fill your Mug and Microwave
Now it’s the time to fill your mug or a cup that is microwave safe.
As I have already mentioned, I feel that the recipe is more suitable for two portions rather than one.
Split it into 2 cups or use just one single mug if you would like to.
The size of the mug should be big enough to fill your batter halfway.
Fill your Mug and Microwave for 45 seconds on high.
Tips and Tricks:
- Size of the mug – should be big enough to fill the mixture halfway only.
- Nut allergies – use sunflower flour.
- Dairy-Free – swap butter with almond oil
- Addition – a blob of peanut butter in the middle will make it a perfect chocolate peanut butter mug cake
