Delicious egg free chocolate mug cake
I have made this quite a few times and it is popular with my friends as well! It is quick and easy to make and only uses a few basic baking ingredients. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do!
Ingredients
Makes: 1 cake in a mug
- 4 dessertspoons sugar
- 4 dessertspoons plain flour
- 2 dessertspoons cocoa powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 dessertspoons olive oil
- 3 dessertspoons water
- Extras
- chopped fruit, choc chips, anything you like really!
Method
Prep:3min ›
Cook:2min ›
Ready in:5min
- Put the sugar, flour, cocoa, salt, and any of the extras you want into a mug. Stir well.
- Add the oil and water. Stir! stir! stir around until it looks well-mixed. It shouldn't be too gloopy, but if it is, add a little more flour.
- Place the mug carefully into the microwave. Cook for 2 minutes. Keep an eye on the microwave though, to make sure it is rising well and doesn't look or smell burnt (remember: microwaves can vary!).
- When cooked, lift it out of the microwave. Just make sure not to burn yourself in the process.
- Add your ice cream, cream, or whatever you like with cake! Enjoy!
Tip
Leave out cocoa powder for a normal sponge if you don't like chocolate. Once we got the ingredients wrong and it ended up as a gooey rock. So if you don't follow the recipe exactly, it could get messy!

Great! It was very filling. I had to add extra water though. After my first 1 all my family were asking for one. It look me 1 minute 40 secs in my 850 watt microwave. I added white chocolate chips on the top and they melted in the microwave, it was gorgeous. It's lovely with cream as well. - 09 Dec 2014
Delicious - added white and milk chocolate chips and it cheered my two poorly boys right up! I'd say it's fairly fool proof as I used heaped dessert spoons of the dry ingredients so had to add a little more water but it still came out perfect- the boys have requested it for tea... (I said no but maybe another day) - 16 Oct 2014
