4-Minute Chocolate Mug Cake FAQs

Can I make this chocolate mug cake if I don't own a microwave?

Yes. You may cook this mug cake without a microwave if you don't have one; however, it takes longer. You will mix ingredients in a cupcake pan or oven-safe ramekin in place of a coffee mug. Place the cake in the oven at 350F for about 12 minutes, checking for doneness as you would with a full-size cake using a toothpick. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake and check for cleanliness; it's done if it comes out clean.

Can I double this chocolate mug cake recipe?

Yes! When someone in your home sees you eating this delicious cake, they will want one for themselves. To make multiple cakes double or triple the amounts in a mixing bowl before dividing it among the number of mugs and microwaving each one separately.

Is there a specific type of oil needed for this recipe?

No, you may use any oil you have at home. This chocolate mug cake recipe can be prepared with canola, coconut, olive oil, or even butter.

Do I need to spray the mug with cooking spray before using it?

No. You don't need to spray the mug with cooking spray before adding ingredients. The oil in the recipe prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.

Can I use self-rising flour for this mug cake?

Yes. Although all-purpose flour produces a more pleasant texture, the mug cake will work with self-rising flour. A spongier cake is created when self-rising flour is used instead of light and fluffy cake.
