I’ll admit, my initial reaction when I stumbled upon this recipe on Babble was one of disbelief. “Is this even possible?†I wondered. The idea of a mug cake that tastes this incredible while being this easy seemed almost too good to be true. But here’s the thing—it is true! Not only is it delicious, but it’s also shockingly straightforward and takes mere minutes in the microwave. Honestly, it’s pure heaven in a mug.
Curiosity got the better of me, so I gathered all the ingredients. Luckily, I had everything except for the caramels, which I picked up during a trip to Target. Oh, and let’s not forget to mention—I somehow managed to forget the oil in the photos. Oops! Lesson learned: always double-check your ingredients before starting.
The best part? There’s never a bad time to enjoy something this sweet, especially after a long day. On one of our kids’ final Summer swim days, they burned off a ton of energy, leaving us with the perfect excuse to whip up a couple of these mug cakes. They’re not just a treat—they’re a mood booster!
Mix, pour, microwave, and voilà ! It’s almost magical how simple it is. Just follow the steps, and you’ll have a decadent dessert ready in no time.
This mug cake reminded me of our Pumpkin Spice Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate—hands down the best drink I’ve ever tasted. It’s become such a cozy staple in our household, especially during fall. I couldn’t resist adding a little twist to this recipe by doubling the caramel and sprinkling some sea salt on top. Why play it safe when you can go bold, right?
So, are you ready to dive in? I thought so! Here’s the full recipe for you to try out.
Ingredients:
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3 tablespoons skim milk
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 3 caramels
• Sea salt (for topping)
Preparation Instructions:
Start by mixing all the ingredients (except the caramels) in a small bowl. Trust me, it’s easier than trying to mix directly in the mug. Once mixed, transfer the batter to a microwave-safe coffee mug. Next, drop the caramels into the center of the batter one by one, then sprinkle some sea salt on top. Microwave for about 45 seconds. If it needs more time, give it another 15–45 seconds. Finally, top it off with whipped cream, drizzle some caramel sauce, and add another pinch of sea salt—or whatever else strikes your fancy. Enjoy!
There you have it—a quick, easy, and indulgent dessert that feels like a cheat day worth having. Give it a shot, and let me know how it turns out. Happy baking (or microwaving)!
