One Minute Eggless Mug Cake
Prep time: 2 mins | Bake time: 1 min | Serves: 1
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour (maida)
- 1-1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1-1/2 teaspoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 teaspoons mini choco chips (add an extra teaspoon if you like)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon Nutella (or jam or peanut butter) * see notes
Method:
1. In a microwave safe tea mug (160ml) add all the dry ingredients – flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, salt & choco chips, mix with a spoon and then add in the wet ingredients – milk, oil, Nutella (or jam or peanut butter) and stir well so that all ingredients are uniformly mixed and there are no lumps.
2. Place it in the microwave oven and microwave for 1 minute. Depending on the type of microwave used you may require to add another 5- 10 seconds to the bake time. Mine took exactly 1 min 10 seconds.
3. Remove and allow to cool a bit before digging in! If you are serving this to kids please note that the mug and the cake will be very very hot so be careful!
Cake looks delicious and soft.

Hi
That looks interesting! Just a question – to make 4 mug cakes would it be 4 minutes in the microwave?
Just saw your blog, looking for a recipe for sannas, and got hooked with both the enticing photographs and the stories! Will be visiting frequently
Thanks Annie!! I haven't tried this cake for a larger quantity in a single mug so I guess you could try for 3 minutes and add extra time to achieve the desired results. This was my first time baking in a microwave. I hope you enjoyed the Sanna ๐

Tired this last night. Added in a heaping tsp of peanut butter. It was delicious. Easy for that quick fix I needed last night and small enough it was not an over indulgent.
Beautiful presentation. thanks for sharing.

Hi shireen. I dont hav nutella jam neither peanut butter . Can i make mugcake with the other ingredients or is it necessary to put this?
Hi Chris, it is necessary to put any one of those ingredients – jam, nutella or peanut butter as they contribute some amount of moisture to the cake. I have not tried making it without these ingredients so I am not sure it'll taste as good if you skip it.
Thanks alot fr quick reply
Hi Shireen,
I tried this recipe last night and it was tasty!However, the first time I tried, it was moist, but not gooey. The second time, it was a little dry. Where did I go wrong? Which ingredients make the cake very gooey? Also, I didnt have baking powder,so prepared the cake without it. Was that the mistake?
@ Rolin: Thanks for your feedback! The baking powder does help in making the cake fluffy but it shouldn't be a problem if you skip it. Perhaps you overcooked it? Since microwaves vary do try it again by reducing the cooking time by 10 seconds. The ingredients that make the cake gooey are nutella, jam or peanut butter
Hey thank you Shireen for your advice. Will try reducing the time.
wow, best thing for a beginner like me infact.. thank you for this recipe…
Glad you like it Sharal!
