Mug cake is the easiest and quickest way to treat yourself with a delicious cake. It takes only seconds to make and doesn't require many ingredients, all you need is a microwave. Here I have made three flavors : vanilla, chocolate brownie and red velvet :)

WARNING : Only use microwave safe mugs!

Vanilla Mug Cake (makes two cakes) :

60 g melted butter
1 egg
3 tbsp milk
100 g cake flour
100 g sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt

(Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature)

Mix the butter, milk, egg, vanilla extract and sugar in a medium bowl using a whisk. Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt into the mixture and whisk till all ingredients are combined.

Seperate the mixture equally between two 250 ml mugs and microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds.

Chocolate Brownie Mug Cake (makes two cakes) :

80 g cake flour
100 g sugar
2 tbsp cocoa powder
150 ml milk
4 tbsp vegetable oil

Sieve the flour and cocoa powder into a medium bowl, add the sugar and whisk together. Add the milk and oil and whisk till all the ingredients are combined.

Seperate the mixture equally between two 250 ml mugs and microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds.

Red Velvet Mug Cake (makes two cakes) :

80 g cake flour
100 g sugar
1,5 tbsp cocoa powder
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp buttermilk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
0,5 tsp red gel food coloring
1/8 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt

In a medium bowl mix the oil, buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract and red food coloring using a whisk. Sieve in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar and salt and whisk till all the ingredients are combined.

Depending on the microwave power the cooking time may vary. You can check the cake after 1 minute with a skewer, if it doesn't come out clean then microwave it for another 30 seconds.

These adorable cakes are so satisfying, in only seconds you can have any cake you desire. Enjoy! :)
