HEALTHY VANILLA MUG CAKE NO EGG

This is what I like to call a life-changing recipe. Truly the best mug cake! It is so so easy to make and most of the ingredients are simple pantry ingredients. This microwave mug cake contains no egg, is vegan, gluten free and dairy free.

Why is my mug cake chewy?

This vegan mug cake should not come out chewy. The texture should be light and fluffy and a little bit denser than a typical vanilla cupcake.

If you are getting a chewy mug cake then it’s due to overcooking. Each microwave will give you different results due to difference in wattages. Most microwaves range from a wattage of 600 to 1200 which means the mug cake may need a bit longer or a bit less time.

Each microwave will be different due to the different wattages. They range from 600 to 1200 which means your microwave could take a little longer or cook quicker. I cooke mine for 45 secs and give it 15 more seconds if required.

Another tip for getting a perfectly light and fluffy mug cake it to just mix the dough until everything comes together. Over mixing can lead to a hard and chewy mixture.

Can you reheat a mug cake?

If you are not tempted to eat the mug cake straight away, then yes you can reheat it. Cover with a plastic wrap or aluminium foil and store in the fridge for up to one day. Do not leave at room temperature.

To reheat remove the covering and place in the microwave for around 10 seconds.

Can you eat mug cakes cold?

I would highly recommend eating them when they are fresh and warm. If you prefer it cold then that is absolutely fine!

What kind of mug do I need for a mug cake?

Any microwave safe mug or small container will work. I used mini ramekins to make mine.
