Description

Make this easy, fluffy, and moist vegan vanilla mug cake (no butter!) in just a couple of minutes using only 7 simple ingredients! It’s the ultimate single-serve dessert for those spontaneous sweet cravings – light, tender, and topped with a quick icing for that extra touch of indulgence. Perfect for a cosy treat after dinner or a midday pick-me-up.


Ingredients

For the mug cake

For the icing


Instructions

  1. In your microwave-safe mug, add plain flour, caster sugar, and baking powder. Stir them together with a small whisk or fork until well combined.
  2. Pour in the melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract and mix gently until the batter is smooth, but don’t overmix.
  3. Place your mug in the microwave and cook for about 1 minute. 
  4. While the cake cools slightly, mix icing sugar with a little almond milk to make a simple icing to top the cake. Drizzle it over the cake and enjoy!

Notes

If the centre of the cake is still wet after a minute, microwave in 10-second bursts until done.

Choose a mug that holds around 350 ml (12 oz) so the cake has room to rise without overflowing.
