Ingredients & Substitutions

Feel free to substitute the whole wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend if you need it. The cocoa powder adds a rich flavor, but you can leave it out if you'd prefer a vanilla mug cake instead! I love adding a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavor.

Tips & Notes

  • I always use a large mug to prevent any overflowing while cooking in the microwave.
  • Experiment with different add-ins like nuts or dried fruits for a little something extra!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll throw in a tablespoon of peanut butter for a delicious twist—so good!
  • You can also try adding a splash of espresso for a mocha flavor that will wake you up!

Storage & Freezing

This mug cake is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers (which is rare!), you can cover it and keep it in the fridge for a day. Just reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to bring back that warm, cozy vibe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this mug cake gluten-free?

Absolutely! Just swap out the whole wheat flour for a gluten-free blend, and you’re good to go.
