So simple and easy to make. Not to mention fast. No waiting around for the oven. Instant (almost) gratification. And cheap to make. Just a little of this, a little of that.
I was undecided about posting this one. I told you at the beginning, we tried about 10 different mug cake recipes. Not all of them were good. The kids and I didn’t really care for this one, at least not as much as some of the others, but my mom loved this one. This was her favorite. Everyone’s tastes are different.
And it’s only 3 ingredients, a few minutes to make and bake. Then dig in.
Some mug cakes are like pizza, everyone has their favorites and everyone usually likes something different. So try it. This one may be your favorite.

July 20, 2012 at 2:05 pmI don’t make cakes often, because my little family won’t eat the whole thing & I end up eating most of it. Although I love the convenience of boxed cake mixes, the cakes are just too big. I would be interested in finding a recipe to buy a boxed cake mix, divide it into smaller portions, bag them & freeze them, & then pull one out at a time to mix with a couple other ingredients & make a mug cake. Do you know how to do this?

March 19, 2014 at 8:32 pmI’d like to know WHY your mom liked this one best, and why you preferred another recipe? Was this one more or less cake-like? Gooey-er? fudgier? More or less chocolatey? Details please!
and which one was YOUR favorite???

March 19, 2014 at 11:49 pmI made this gooey chocolate mug cake I did what the recipe said and it was dry dense and no gooeyness at all I cooked it for 50 seconds. Please help me what did I do wrong I made this for my husband and my daughter cause we are watching calories and it’s 210 cal. It made one mug. Thank you

March 20, 2014 at 8:38 pmIt sounds like maybe your microwave cooks high and you might want to reduce the time a bit. Also, did you use a large egg?
kaitlyn says
March 20, 2014 at 6:53 pmwould hot chocolate mix work?
Joan Hayes says
March 20, 2014 at 8:46 pmyou could try it
Kris says
March 20, 2014 at 10:23 pmLoved this recipe Joan! It cured that chocolate craving, and I had less than 5 minutes in the kitchen! Perfect dessert for the night I wanted to relax 🙂
Joan says
July 25, 2014 at 7:35 pmThe recipe is so easy to make but I did over cook it just a bit. It still roasted great!

August 1, 2014 at 8:45 amUsing the microwave is an awful idea – radiation, killing nutrients in food and all that. In fact, we got rid of ours years ago. How about baking this in the oven? Would 20 minutes at 350 work, you think?
Joan Hayes says
August 2, 2014 at 11:42 pmIf baking in the oven, I’d check it at about 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Make sure the mug you are using is oven safe.

July 8, 2015 at 10:50 amYou don’t state the size of the egg, must it be a large, extra large or jumbo size egg?
Joan Hayes says
July 30, 2015 at 10:43 pmI always use large eggs but use what you have on hand.
