I've tried several different microwave mug cake recipes ever since I discovered they were a thing a few months ago, but was always disappointed with the results. They always tasted like sweet chocolate-flavored omelettes. This eggless recipe, on the other hand, is perfect. The texture is as close to an oven-baked cake as anyone can hope for. 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder sound like a lot, but the rich taste was actually perfect- almost like a dark chocolate cake. I almost hate that you posted this, because I know I will be making it way more often that I should. Thanks for sharing this recipe! -
The best mug cake recipe ever! I've tried some other recipes before, but none of them gives a super fantastic taste like this recipe! I personally find 3tbs of sugar makes the cake too sweet, and 3tbs of oil makes it too greasy, so I just reduce those ingredients to the way I want. Overall, this recipe is superb!! -
Used coconut oil instead, also added 1/4 tsp vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp espresso powder. Delicious!

Ditch the microwave and add 5 minutes to bake time at 350 in the regular oven! Also, use an extra tablespoon or 2 of milk to make the batter a little more fluid. -
I used 1/2 tsp brown sugar, two drops of vanilla. -
Self rising flour, brown sugar, water -
Very pleased with my very first mug cake experience! I subbed high-quality olive oil instead of vegetable oil, which I thought was super tasty! Recommended if you like olive oil cake. I followed every other direction exactly, and the result was a warm, gooey, slighty sweet dark chocolate cake. I mixed in some frozen raspberries afterwards, which blended with all the other flavors wonderfully. Best late-night, desperate-for-cake recipe!

Eating up right after making when it is still hot, it was very awesome! But I substituted half of the oil with greek yogurt, experimented with sugar/sweetner combination, and put a teaspoon amount of honey to have gooey - moist texture. It was still, delicious!
