This 2 mins Eggless Microwave Chocolate Mug Cake with the hint of coffee is the quickest and easiest dessert or snack that you can hope to make when the craving to eat something sweet hits you. The cake is moist, rich and with a crumb just the way I like it.
An elegant and classy dessert to serve and eat if you are going for portion controlling anything sweet that you eat.
My kids love this a lot and as they are old enough to measure, mix and safely operate the microwave, I let them to make it by themselves.
I’m sure its much better than making and eating instant noodles whenever a snack attack hits them.
This recipe is adapted from Microwave Chocolate Cake but I made it into an eggless one for the sake of kids as I do not want them to make a mess while breaking up the eggs.
There are so many flavors to play with this cake especially. Earlier I was using Vinegar like in this Eggless Chocolate Strawberry Mug Cake but since the kids started hating the smell of it, I adjusted the milk and oil accordingly.
You can also use buttermilk instead. Sometimes I add coconut oil and the aroma of the cake will be simply amazing. If using coconut oil, leave out coffee powder and avoid using any kind of extracts or essence.

Looks temptg…my son can’t take his eyes off the mug cake
Going to make it soon. I was so much looking for easy recipes. loved the photographs.
Delocious! I loved it.
Is it for with convection mode in microwave or for normal one?
It is for the normal microwave mode also known as cooking mode.
My children (10yrs and 4yrs) made this and just finished eating. They thooroughly enjoyed the making and ofcourse the taste!! Thanks for this wonderful recipe!
Hi Pooja, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Very happy to hear that your children loved the cake.
Best ever quick chocolate cake
Thank you. It really is. Glad you liked it.
This recipe is very nice!!
But whenever i made the cakes they rose very quickly and then suddenly deflated in the microwave. Can anyone tell me why??
I don’t if I did something wrong but I’ll tell u this it went all over the microwave all over the mug as well
the cake while cooking in microwave will rise more. So you need to use a fairly large mug to prevent the batter from overflowing
I tried it today and the taste was good. But the cake didn’t rise that much and it’s a little oily. Hiw can i fix this? Thanks!
Hi Ankita, next time add a little less if you feel that it is oily
Hi does the baking time differ if I keep more than 2 to three mugs at a time?
Yes, microwave time will vary of you are going to keep 2 or 3 mugs at time. you need to adjust them to check if they are fully cooked or not
