How to Make a Mug Cake 

I've tried so many mug cake recipes for YEARS but this one is the best one I've ever tried! It's so good, it doesn't even taste like mug cake! One of the best baking recipes ever. Thank you, thank you!

I am nine years old and I baked this microwave cake Thank you for sharing this recipe 😊

I just made this and it’s so deliciously fudgey!!! We put some fresh whipped cream on top and now it’s truly heaven.

1/4 cup and 1 Tbsn ap 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 tspn baking powder 2 Tbsn coco powder 2 Tbsn veg oil 1 Tbsn coffee 1/4 cup whole milk 15gr dark chocolate chopped (optional) Cook for 90 secs (depends on your microwave)

I really enjoy the easy ones more then the fancy ones! For me aperance doesn't matter it's the taste that does!

I was craving chocolate cake so bad this morning to have with my coffee, and with the lack of sleep with a 9 month old, I searched youtube and when this guy popped up I knew I’d try his because I trust his recipes, and let me tell you, this is THE BEST mug cake I have ever tried, it tastes amazing! I was at my last bit of baking soda and it worked! I tried other recipes before and they come out so rubbery and dry. THIS IS THE ONE

Omg i love this so so so much! If your are looking through the comments to see if it good, this is your sign! iv'e tried millions of mug cakes and they tasted terrible, but this oh oh oh wow it tastes like heaven in a mug 100% recommend.

it’s official this is the BEST chocolate mug cake I have ever tried, with some good vanilla ice cream it’s CHEFS KISS

Both! The quick ones are great for something to do with children for a fast treat.

My eight year old only loves to watch preppys kitchen 😄 she says it’s the best hands down!

everyone always compliments my mug cake, and i just tested this recipe and DUDE this is SO MUCH BETTER than my recipe, that was the best mug cake i’ve ever eaten in my life

Tried it today, I wish I'd never come across this video because of how unreasonably easy and delicious this recipe is!!!!

More easy recipes like this please! I love watching you decorate fancy cakes but it's nice to see a recipe like this that I know I can actually make myself and not worry about wasting alot of time and ingredients in case it goes wrong

During 'Stay At Home', if I hear "What's for breakfast?" "What's for lunch?" or "What's for dinner?" one more time I'm going to go outside and lick a stranger's face so I can be placed in isolation! So your quick recipes are really good for me and my sanity. 😆

this is the best thing ever!! ive been trying to make mug cakes but none of them would work, either i wouldn’t have the same ingredients or it would pop inside the microwave then i’ll have to clean it up, this works and tastes like heaven, you jsut earned a new subscriber!

I just made this and it's easy and so good. It turned out light, moist and delicious. Made the house smell nice too. I topped it with dark chocolate baking chips. Because it's in a mug it can easily be eaten warm. Careful, it'll be hot at first. I used a 22oz oven/microwave safe mug and microwaved it 90 secs. I've got a 1100 watt microwave I think. It's more than enough to satisfy chocolate cravings. I'm happy that I didn't have to bake a whole cake. This is perfect for a single person. Quick cleanup. I love to bake but sometimes a person just wants a quick tasty snack. Thank you for the recipe.

This was so good, a lot better than the mug cakes I’ve tried before! It tastes sooooo good with chocolate chips like he recommended but if you don’t have chocolate chips it still tastes amazing! Definitely recommend!

This is the best mug cake I have ever had .For anyone who is reading this make this recipe ASAP

Don’t make me choose!!! Plz do simple recipes (especially with chocolate!) AND big cakes that you decorate. A healthy dose of both will be perfect! I luv watching your videos!

I just made this for my husband. I ate it. 😅 Omg it was so quick to make. Thank you!!!

Needed a quick recipe for a cousin's birthday and tried this out! Was very skeptical when the cake came out but it honestly turned out AMAZING!! ❤️

This recipe is AMAZING!! Thank you so much for sharing 🥺 es Tip: I wanted to lower the amount of oil in the recipe so I only used 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of sugar and I turned out amazing! Super amazing texture, rich flavor and superrr moist. You could also add a few drops of stevia if you have a sweeter tooth!

All these years I have been looking for a really good recipe for mug cake finally found it!! This is the best recipe ever !! simple and easy. Thank you so much!

I made this cake ....its so good...so soft...fluffy and delicious....not like any other mug cakes which are rubbery....thank you for this recipe Love from India

I just did this and honestly it’s one of the best mug caked I’ve ever tried lol I was scared bc all the chocolate mug cakes I’ve done end up being tasteless but this one doesn’t!!! It’s really tasty and easy to make, totally recommend this!

I looooved it!!! So much. I had to leave it a bit more than 90 secs as was a bit liquid at the bottom but also realized it could have been the chocolate chips. It doesn't taste like mug cake at all, just like another cake.

I did this and it was the best thing ever

What a simple and delicious recipe. I used just 2.5 tbsp of sugar and it was plenty sweet. Cooked in a 1000 watt microwave for 1 min and 15 sec. Thanks John, it was scrumptious.

How he always has the most beautiful smile

John, thank you for including the metric weights on your reciepes. Especially when making small serving sized portions. I'm one of those viewers who never have success, but the weighted measurements helped greatly.

I have tried this many time & this turn amazing 😍😍😍

The best recipe ever. My first time to try this & I doubled up the ingredients just to make 2 mugs. And I don’t have fresh milk, so subs with choc milk instead. Microwave it for 5 mins (every oven/microwave works differently) & topped it with peanut butter ice cream! Yums! Fyi, it does increase in size once you microwave it. So use a bigger mug. I use almost similar like his, and put the batter half. Once cooked, it increase in size & leave only 1 inch from the top of the cup.

Made a Keto friendly version of this using a combination of almond & cocnut flour, swerve sweetener, vanilla almond milk and avocado oil. It was amazing. Thank you!

I tried the brownie mug cake and I'm willing to try your other mug cake recipe, hope its as delicous as the other, or better! Updating when I actually make it

Ive tried so many mug cake recipes and this is, by far the best one! Thank you sooo much.

You don’t know how much I appreciate you giving the quantities for every ingredient in both cups and grams

This is fantastic quick cake which you can make when you have friends over...... But please make both the recipes!!! I just love watching your videos. You have a very sophisticated and unique delicate way of presentation which I love. Love from India :)

I just made this, but veganized it by substituting the oil with 1 tblsp of apple sauce and 1 tblsp of raw almond butter, as well as substituting the whole milk with unsweetened almond and coconut milk, and used vegan chocolate chips. I also added a bit if orange zest! Amazing! I'm a fan and enjoy watching your videos! Thank you! Amazingly delicious!

More simple recipes. 🙏🏻 I’m trying to bake more but I don’t have the right tools to make fancy cakes. This was perfect!! Thank you 😊

Tried it and it's perfect: fast, easy, and delicious! Thanks for sharing. I substituted the oil for butter and used only one tbsp. Was still really good!

My mom threw away all of the flour and hasn’t bought any in like 2 months because of us making mug cakes and she was tired of the cake sticking to the mugs 😭

I've been watching your channel for a couple of months. After a days worth of major stress, I can watch you bake, smile, and obviously have fun, & I am able to zen out to my happy place. Plus, I just found out how to make this wonderful mug cake. It turned out so light and fulfilled my chocolate craving. Thank you ! Thank you!! Thank you!!!

I would love to see recipes for small batch cakes or cupcakes. Like 2-4 cupcakes or a 6” or 8” round cake. These would be so fun to make with my kids. They would get such a kick out of a mini cake that’s sort of more their size. Also, since I found your channel, I have been watching a Preppy Kitchen marathon! LOVE.YOUR.VIDEOS. 😁

THIS IS THE BEST MUG CAKE I HAVE EVER HAD!!!! it doesn’t even taste like a normal mug cake nor have the textures that normal mug cake would have. He wasn’t lying when he said this melts in ur mouth!!!! Thank u for this delicious recipe!!!

This with vanilla ice cream 🤤

I just made the best mug cake ever by following your recipe!!!. God,! Its so great that I wanna cry. ❤❤❤❤Thank you so so so much for this beautiful recipe

YOUR SMILE IS EVERYTHING🥰ALSO I JUST MADE THIS AND WHEN I TELL YOU THIS IS HEAVENLY❤️🥰👍🏼I RECCOMEND

Just made this recipe with gluten free flour. Same amount. Only added 30 to 60 seconds as per my liking. Lovely. Thank you!

I love how easy it is to make this mug cake vegan. Just swap out the whole milk for a plant milk.

Best recipe I've tried yet for a mug cake, I recommend adding the chocolate chunks on top I didn't and it definitely tastes like it's missing something without it

I love the heart-shaped cookie on your shelf from the recipe that you made a few weeks ago!

thanks for the recipe l made it it was the best chocolate mug cake l have ever made super moist and fluffy if you are looking for the best mug cake try it!

make more of the easy and quick to make, good for one or two persons! thank you.. love your videos

I've tried the vanilla cake recipe and the italian butter cream frosting. I love cooking challenges of all levels but for quick single serves that My daughter and I can utilize quickly and enjoy thoroughly nothing beats a simple little recipe. I love your channel and how even the daunting recipes you guide us through with ease.

I might be to late to share this, but I hope this helps some people: To make sure your mug cake doesn't explode, put it on a low heat, power 6 worked the best for me. Also, if the cake starts to rise out of the mug, open the door and let its deflate again for a few seconds to ensure it doesn't fall out. It taste really good and fudgy, so I encourage you to make this! :)

Best mug cake EVER!!!! Don’t try any other recipe!! This is the one!! *chef’s kiss*😌

love ur fancy cakes but Fast and easy recipes is also desirable and challenging!!

I have tried so mny mug cake recipes but nothing has turned out to be right till then..but now i got the perfect recipe. This is soo yummyyy😍😍

Dude it's so mesmerizing when he time lapses the whisking

this is by far the best mug in a cup recipie I have ever had.

Yees, more! I love the fancy stuff, but honestly sometimes it's harder to find really good, simple recipes. I was really happy to see this one in my subscription feed, thank you :) !

I Really Love it , the cake was soft and not dry . Thanks

you saved my quarantine. it tastes amazing.

The best chocolate mug cake i have EVER tasted ... It's a hit in my family ... Thank you so much for this amazing recipe. ❤️

i tried this and it tastes so good!!! love it!!

This is amazing and it’s actually works like I don’t about you guys every time I try a mug cake it doesn’t work but this one worded and tastes amazing ( also use cake flour and no raising agent it comes out perfect ❣️)💖💖💖

Love the mug cake. Appreciate quick breads. Maybe you could do a cornbread? I find that many are dry or bland.

Only one word can describe it..PERFECT!!

My kids thank you! My waistline, not so much ❤️🤤

I just made this. The best mug cake. Thanks.

200k subscribers Congrats!! 👏👏 You deserve more ! ❤

Whew phenomenal! You sure know how to give good directions and have great recipes! I can’t believe my cake came out looking so pretty, it rose evenly! I wonder if it’s because I used a mug that was slightly taller and narrower in width. It took 110 seconds in the microwave and I did the 10 sec check twice at the end rotating directions as well. I altered the recipe a wee bit because I like coffee!,,, so I put in two tablespoons espresso and used 2 tablespoons of butter because I didn’t have veg oil. Came out so good my family made me share. 😂

Your coffee machine is like my soul..😑🖤

I just tried this recipe and when i microwave for 90 sec it didn't work. I don't know what's wrong. So i tried to bake it with 170C for 25 minute and WOWW it work and really really yummy and i love it. Just love it❤

As an Italian, I cry everytime you show your moka. thanks.

Okay I am gonna be honest. I have tried many mug cake recipes. Non of them turned out good. But this recipe, this is really amazing. Even though I forgot to add coffee, it turned out so good. You guys should definitely try this recipe. You’ll love it. ❤️

...I'm gonna have to start going to the gym on the weekends after this recipe.

I’ve made this three times now. It just melts in your mouth, *it’s so good!!!*

This was delicious highly recommend

I made this last night after craving some cake and OMG THE BEST MUG CAKE I’VE EVER MADE. It’s fluffy and moist. Not rubbery at all!

Im making this as breakfest ❤ and please more simple recipes!

I replaced the two tablespoons of oil for two tablespoons of mostly melted butter. Not completely melted but soft enough to mix completely with the batter. Sooooooo good!

Boooth do both of them. I'll try these in 3,2,1 go!!!!

FINALLY ONE THAT WORKS AND TATSE SO GOOD OMG IT TASTE LIKE A BROWNIE(just make sure you sift and mix because I didn’t enought and it had some tiny flour clumps) BUT ITS SO GOOD OMG

How about some low carb mug desserts. I lost 150 pounds and can’t take the carbs! I ❤️your video.

This is the best mugcake recipe hands down!! So fudgy and yummyy. I just put some hersheys chocolate syrup on it and voila !

Would be so fun to turn this into Lava cake, yumm ☺☺

this is so good. the cake comes out moist like a brownie because you do 10 second intervals to cook it. if u put a little extra cocoa in its SUPER RICH ahhh

I just made this. IT IS SOOOOO GOOD Edit: OMG I GOT A HEART Edit 2: wait where did me heart go :(

My mistake: put all the batter in a small ramekin. My reward: the perfect fudgy chocolate brownie. THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is so delicious!

Yum 😋. How many ounces of liquid does the mug you’re using hold?

Just tried this. Soooo good

Why am I getting the notification like 7 hrs late?

It has been 2 years, I still make this, my sis loves to eat this!!

It's 9 AM and it's taking everything in me to not make this right now 🤦🏻‍♀️

Quick fast desserts like this are always nice, but I do enjoy watching you create your masterpieces.

This is so easy and it came out so well. Now I'm gonna make it all the time and get fat 🤦🏻‍♀️

I had to try this!!! And it’s insanely delicious. Should be illegal. Thanks for sharing !!

This foolish mortal thought I was going to SIFT my ingredients?

Perfect. Absolutely easy and clearly has been tested thoroughly ❤
