About Mug Cake

We love chocolate mug cakes as they are easy to prepare, ready in minutes, and a quick fix for your sweet tooth. It is one of the best options when you want to prepare a cake without going through the trouble of baking a whole cake.

Mug Cake was founded by Swetha Kishore from Chennai, who is an engineering graduate and now an entrepreneur. Mug Cake became popular in 2009 and is still one of the most sought-after recipes for evening dessert.

Mug Cakes come not only in chocolate flavour, but also in variations with vanilla, coffee and much more. It can also be prepared with or without egg.

For this super-fast quick chocolate mug cake recipe, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a mug. Pour in milk, canola oil, water, and vanilla extract. Cook the cake in the microwave until it is baked through in the middle.

Difference between Cup Cake and Mug Cake

There is not much difference between a cupcake and a mug cake. Almost the same ingredients are used for both. However, a cupcake is a small cake baked in a cup-shaped mould and often decorated with frosting or other toppings.

A mug cake, on the other hand, is a single serving of cake prepared in a mug in the microwave. Mug cakes are usually prepared with fewer ingredients and are meant to be a quick and easy alternative to traditional baked cakes. Both are sweet treats, but the preparation method and ingredients used are different.

Expert tips

1. Use the right amount of ingredients to prevent the cake from overflowing in the microwave.

2. Mix the ingredients well to ensure an even consistency.

3. Let the mug cake cool for a few minutes before eating to avoid burns.

4. Avoid using metal mug, use microwave safe mug

5. Don't overcook the cake, otherwise it will turn out to be dry

6. You can add chocolate chips, nuts, or any other topping of your choice for flavour
