    Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe | Vegan, 1 Minute, Easy

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    You don't get many recipes as quick and easy as this one! Say hello to my chocolate mug cake recipe which is ready to eat after just 1 minute in the microwave!

    It's super chocolatey as I advise placing extra chocolate into the middle of the cake, as well as pouring melted chocolate over the top.

    I really hope you enjoy this recipe. If you love easy chocolate cake recipes, be sure to check out my vegan chocolate fudge lava cake!

    WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS EASY 1 MINUTE CAKE

    • All-purpose flour
    • Granulated sugar
    • Vegan butter
    • Cocoa powder
    • Plant milk
    • Vanilla extract
    • Vegan Chocolate

    HOW TO MAKE THIS CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE RECIPE

    An aerial shot of the ingredients needed for my vegan chocolate mug cake recipe. Flour, sugar, cocoa powder, vegan butter, plant milk, vanilla and vegan chocolate.

    Below you can take a look at a quick overview of how to make my chocolate mug cake recipe. The full method is down on the recipe card. If you’re looking for detailed steps, be sure to see it!

    STEP ONE

    Heat treat the flour. Place the flour into the microwave and cook for 1 minute 15 seconds. 15 second intervals.

    STEP TWO

    To a small bowl, add the dry ingredients, followed by the wet.

    STEP THREE

    Pour your chocolate mixture into two medium mugs/ramekins. Place 3 squares of chocolate into the centre of each cake. Cover with the batter.

    STEP FOUR

    Place your cakes (one at a time) into the microwave for 1 minute.

    MUG CAKE TIPS

    • Make sure that you heat treat the flour before combing your ingredients. Raw flour is inedible and can make you very sick!
    • Keep an eye on your chocolate mug cake while it is in the microwave and cook for no longer than 1 minute 15 seconds.

    CAN THIS MUG CAKE BE MADE IN THE OVEN?

    This recipe doesn't work in the oven. You will need a microwave for delicious results.

    The mug cake scoped out of the ramekin and onto a white and brown plate. It has extra chocolate on top. Messy.

    HOW LONG DO YOU NEED TO COOK IT FOR?

    On average, the cook time is usually approximately 1 minute. However, different microwaves have different wattages. You may need to cook for 1 minute 15 seconds.

    SOME DIFFERENT TOPPING OPTIONS

    For this chocolate mug cake recipe, I love to top mine with extra melted chocolate but if you're already satisfied with the amount of chocolate, you can top with other things. You could try:

    • Melted peanut butter
    • Melted Biscoff spread
    • Vegan custard
    • Vegan caramel sauce
    • Ice cream
    • Vegan single cream

    VARIATIONS AND SUBSTITUTIONS

    • To give this chocolate mug cake recipe a slight peanut butter vibe, simply add 10-15 grams of smooth peanut butter to the mixture.
    • I placed vegan milk chocolate squares into the centre of my mug cake but you can change this to any type of chocolate that you like. White chocolate, dark chocolate, it's all good.
