3. Microwave
Cook on high for 60–90 seconds (start with 70 sec; ovens vary).
The top should look set—but still slightly moist (it continues cooking as it cools).
4. Serve Immediately
Eat warm with a spoon!
Top with:
A dusting of powdered sugar
A dollop of whipped cream
Fresh berries or ice cream
🍓 Pro tip: For a molten center, reduce cook time by 10 seconds!
🍮 Flavor Variations (Keep It Exciting!)
Twist
How to Customize
Peanut Butter Swirl
Swirl 1 tbsp PB into batter before microwaving
Mint Chocolate
Add ¼ tsp peppermint extract + chocolate chips
Raspberry Delight
Fold in 2–3 fresh raspberries
Cookies & Cream
Use crushed Oreos instead of chocolate chips
Vegan Double Chocolate
Use almond milk + coconut oil + dairy-free chips
💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Mug Cake Every Time
Use a large mug (12+ oz)—batter rises!
Don’t overmix—lumps are okay; overmixing = rubbery cake
Let it rest 1 minute after microwaving—texture improves instantly
Double the recipe for two servings (use a bowl, not a mug)
