How to Make the Best Mug Cake Recipes & More!
As a professional chef and baker, you may not think a microwave mug cake recipe would be on my menu, but what I call “microbaking” is the real deal. I have 100+ mug meals, including the best Chocolate Mug Cake recipe you’ll ever enjoy, a delicious Vanilla Mug Cake for any occasion, my world famous Mug Pizza recipe, and my Brownie in a Mug that is the perfect single-serving treat for you to enjoy.
Top Mug Cake Recipe & Mug Meal Secrets:
- How long should I cook my Mug Cake or Meal? Check the wattage (power) on your microwave to determine your exact cook time. My microwave heats at 1200 watts so your mug recipes may take a little more or less time.
- Can you overcook a Mug Cake? Does your mug cake smell or taste like egg or is it rubbery? It shouldn’t be! This means you overcooked your mug recipe. Cook it for the time on each recipe, check on it and you can always cook it longer.
- Are there Egg Substitutes for a Mug Cake or Meal? YES! I have an egg substitute chart you can use to enjoy mug cakes egg free!
- What kind of chocolate should you use in a Chocolate Mug Cake recipe? Always use good quality chocolate including unsweetened cocoa powder (not hot chocolate powder because it has loads of unnecessary sugar) to get the best flavor.

Recipe Notes
Cut your potatoes small because they will cook faster
They can be mixed up in advance for an even speedier meal
Cooking time will vary greatly depending on your microwave and the width and depth of the mug You can bake them in the oven at 350oF (180oC) for roughly 10-12 minutes. However every mug is different so I advise checking on it after 10 and then make a call. 4 SmartPoints
