Honestly, when I first came across this recipe on Babble, I couldn't believe my eyes. I mean, come on! How could something so incredible possibly be this easy? I was skeptical, to say the least. But you know what? It turns out it’s not only super easy, but also absolutely divine. I’m telling you—this mug cake is pure heaven in just a few minutes.
When I decided to try it, I immediately gathered all the ingredients I had on hand. The only thing missing was the caramels, so I picked some up while I was at Target. Oh, and let’s be real—I almost forgot the oil when I snapped the picture. Always double-check your pantry before you start, especially the basics like oil!
On one of the last sunny days of Summer, my kids were practically bouncing off the walls after a long day at the pool. A quick and easy dessert seemed like the perfect way to channel all that pent-up energy. So, naturally, I whipped up a couple of these mug cakes for everyone. They were gone in a flash!
The process is incredibly straightforward—just mix everything together, plop the caramels in the middle, sprinkle some sea salt on top, and pop it in the microwave. Simple, right? And yet, it tastes like something you’d order at a fancy café.
If you’re a fan of our Pumpkin Spice Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate (seriously, one of the best drinks ever), then this mug cake will be right up your alley. It’s got that same irresistible blend of sweet and salty flavors that just makes you want to savor every bite.
Now, I’ll admit—I didn’t follow the recipe exactly. I doubled the caramels because, why not? And I added some extra toppings like crushed nuts and a drizzle of caramel sauce for good measure. Call me adventurous, but sometimes you just need to take a risk in the kitchen.
So, are you ready to give it a shot? Trust me—you won’t regret it. Here’s the full recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons 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 sprinkling)
Preparation Instructions:
Start by mixing all the dry ingredients in a small bowl. Once combined, transfer the mixture to a microwave-safe mug. Add the beaten egg, milk, and oil, then stir until smooth. Break the caramels into pieces and place them gently into the batter. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top. Microwave for about 45 seconds, then check. Depending on your microwave, you might need to zap it for another 15–45 seconds. Be careful not to overcook—it should be soft and gooey when done. Let it cool slightly before serving. For an extra touch of indulgence, top with whipped cream, drizzle with caramel sauce, and add another sprinkle of sea salt. Voilà !
Enjoy this treat anytime you need a little pick-me-up. Whether it’s a lazy Sunday morning or a busy weekday evening, this mug cake is sure to hit the spot. Happy baking—and eating!
