How To Make 3 Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Mug Cake

Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds for a perfectly cooked, decadent cake for one!

Cooking Tips

Be sure to whisk the egg thoroughly and combined all ingredients until blended. This helps the cake to cook up evenly in the microwave
For easy clean-up, you can spray nonstick cooking spray into mug before adding ingredients
Have fun with it! Make it your own… try different toppings like fudge drizzle, whipped cream, nuts, or sprinkles

Can You Cook a Mug Cake in the Air Fryer?

Yes! You can also make this recipe in the air fryer. Just be sure your mug is oven-proof/bake-proof. Heat at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Check cake and cook for a few more minutes if necessary.

Can You Make an Eggless Mug Cake?

Yes— just use a pinch of baking powder in lieu of the egg. The baking powder will help the cake to rise and become fluffy.

How Long To Cook a Mug Cake?

About 1 minute and 30 seconds for a good consistency. If you prefer a “wetter” more moist center, then cut back on a few seconds. Try different times and watch the cake to get just the right texture for your treat.

What To Serve With This Chocolate Mug Cake

How about a warm beverage to get cozy? This Mexican Atole Hot Drink would pair deliciously with the chocolate cake.

Or add fresh toppings like this (Starbucks Copycat) Fruit and Yogurt Parfait. Yum! Refreshing fruit and rich chocolate always go well together.
