Yield 4 servings

Steps:

  • Lightly butter 4 small microwave-safe mugs. Whisk 1/2 cup each sugar and buttermilk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in a large bowl until smooth, about 2 minutes. Whisk in 1/2 cup flour, 1/8 teaspoon baking soda and a pinch of salt until just combined. Pour 1/3 cup batter into each mug. Microwave, one at a time, until puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 2 minutes. (Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, if needed.) Let cool slightly. Top as desired.
  • Variations
  • Confetti: Make Basic Mug Cakes, adding 2 teaspoons rainbow sprinkles to each mug before adding the batter; stir. Top with whipped cream and more sprinkles.
  • Strawberry Shortcake: Make Basic Mug Cakes, adding 1 chopped strawberry and 1 tablespoon white chocolate chips to each mug before adding the batter; stir. Top with more chopped strawberries.
  • Triple Chocolate: Make Basic Mug Cakes, using only 1/3 cup flour; add 2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder with the flour. Top with chocolate ice cream and chocolate sprinkles.
  • Chocolate Chip: Make Basic Mug Cakes, using dark brown sugar instead of granulated. Add 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips to each mug before adding the batter; stir. Top with vanilla ice cream and more mini chocolate chips.
  • Gluten-Free Blueberry Cheesecake: Lightly butter 4 small microwave-safe mugs. Microwave 8 ounces cream cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl until soft, about 30 seconds. Whisk in 1 large egg, 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar (make sure your brand is gluten-free), 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon each lemon juice and vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Pour 1/4 cup batter into each mug; stir 1 teaspoon dried blueberries into each. Microwave, one at a time, until puffed, about 2 minutes. (Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, if needed.) Let cool slightly. Top with blueberry preserves.

I followed the recipe exactly and my mug cake turned out dry and rubbery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This mug cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think next time I'll try using less sugar.

I've tried this mug cake recipe several times now and it always turns out great! It's so moist and fluffy, and the chocolate flavor is perfect. I like to add a little bit of whipped cream on top for an extra special treat.
