½ tsp Vanilla extract

Sugar (granulated)

Self-raising flour

Salt

Whipped cream

Strawberry ((cut in half)

Bake in the microwave for 1.5 minutes or 90 seconds on high. The cake will rise and settle a bit after it finishes baking (mine took 1 1/2 minute).Pro-tip - The cake is done when you prick with a skewer and feel no raw batter inside.

Let cool for 5 minutes. Then, top with whipped cream and chopped strawberry.Pro-tip - If the cake is still hot the whipped cream will melt. Alternatively, you can serve the whipped cream on the side.

This super cute Funfetti Mug Cake is the perfect single-serving dessert for when you need something sweet and fast!

Funfetti Mug Cake

all-purpose flour (0.03)

Tbsp sugar (0.02)

tsp baking powder (0.02)

tsp rainbow sprinkles (0.10)

Tbsp milk (0.08)

Tbsp butter (melted) (0.09)

tsp vanilla extract (0.07)

Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and sprinkles to a microwave safe mug (8oz. or larger). Stir until everything is well combined.

Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mug. Stir until a soft batter forms, making sure to scrape all the flour out of the corners of the mug.

Microwave the mug cake for about 60 seconds, or until it has puffed to about 2-3 times the volume. Cook time will vary with the wattage of your microwave (I used a 1000 watt microwave and 60-70 seconds was perfect).

Allow the mug cake to cool for a few minutes and then top with your preferred frosting option, or enjoy unfrosted.

(15 ml) canola oil

vanilla extract

semisweet chocolate chips (5 ml / 1 teaspoon)

In a 250 ml (1 cup)-capacity coffee cup, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla.

With a fork, gently stir until the batter no longer has lumps. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips.

Cook the cake in the microwave for 45 seconds. Let cool for 5 minutes to allow for the cake to finish cooking.

Made thus today.  Was a bit too sweet  for my taste, so  I made another with just 1 and a half tbsp of sugar, added a bit of salt and a pinch of espresso  powder . It was perfect. Will  definitely this again.

This recipe is so yummy, so convenient and quick to make. i make it like everyday! Best “cupcake” i have ever made!

I wanted something sweet and found this recipe 

This is a great recipe! I substituted canna butter for the oil and added a few granules of instant coffee ~ yum!

This Mug Cake was delicious! To most people, it might seem like it is still a little raw but that is definitely not the case. I did change up the recipe a bit, like by doing a little less than a cap full of vegetable oil instead of Canola Oil, and I added three drops of vanilla extract, but other than that it is a really great mug cake. I have been looking for a delicious mug cake for a while now and I am glad I found it! 
-Valerie

This recipe is so easy with all the things I already have in my kitchen!! It took me 5 minutes to make! And so good 

Very tasty, might add a pinch of salt next time.

Beautiful. Have tried a few recipes out there and this really works beautifully. To suit my chocoholic nature, I personalised it as follows: I a
+ added 1/2 tsp of instant coffee granules for flavour
+ added pinch of salt
- removed 1/2 tbsp of the sugar as it was a bit too sweet to me
+  added 4 big (5mm cube) chunks of dark chocolate in the centre of the cake, at the bottom. They melted to perfection, no burning, making each spoonful moist and SO CHOCOLATEY! 
Beautiful! Thank you Ricardo!

Very good recipe! Pretty sweet, so maybe reduce the sugar, but it was delicious!
Très bonne recette! Assez sucré, donc peut-être réduire un peu le sucre, mais c'était délicieux!

Honestly the best mug cake I’ve ever made! I added a pinch of salt, and used soy milk and vegan chocolate to make it dairy free! So light and fluffy!

Chocolate Lava Mug Cake is moist and fudgy, with a warm molten center. Made in the microwave and ready in minutes, this easy treat is perfect for chocolate lovers!

Chocolate Lava Mug Cake

all-purpose flour

baking powder

sugar

milk ((any kind))

vegetable oil coconut oil

vanilla bean paste ((or vanilla extract))

chocolate ((or 1-2 tablespoons chocolate chips))

In a 16-ounce microwavable mug or small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.

Using a fork, whisk in milk, oil, and vanilla extract until batter is smooth and there are no lumps. If mixing in a small bowl, pour into a 12 ounce mug (or larger) to cook. Otherwise, you can cook cake right in the bowl.

Microwave cake for 30-45 seconds, then remove from microwave and add chocolate squares/chips into center of batter. There is no need to stir, as chocolate will sink to the middle.

Place back in microwave and cook for an additional 30-60 seconds, or until cake rises and starts to pull away from the edges of mug and the center is almost firm, but still looks slightly shiny. Be sure to keep an eye on the cake as it cooks, as it might overflow if your mug isn&#x27;t large enough.

Let cool in microwave for 2 minutes, then remove and top with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
