There is no dessert that’s easier and more rewarding than a mug cake! You simply mix up the ingredients in the mug and put it in the microwave, no traditional baking required…
Mug cakes are great when you want a quick indulgence with minimal effort. In this case, it’s not just a regular mug cake, but a donut mug cake with chocolate glaze in a cup.
The only equipment you’ll need for this cake in a mug is a microwave. So you can enjoy a microwave mug cake in the heat of summer without turning on the oven. And if you have little helpers around, this is one of the best recipes for kids.
Just remember it’s a one-serving recipe. You might want to double or triple it you want multiple servings. Try to pick a nice, medium size mug, definitely not a tea cup or a jug.

It was a little dry but otherwise delicious!
Hi Isabel, Thanks for your comment. There can be some variation based on microwave, mug shape etc. so you can make small adjustments and try again! Glad you enjoyed.
Chocolate was bitter and dough was flavorless… I probably messed something up…. or maybe everything. But the dough did have a good texture
Hi Aidan, Sorry to hear it didn’t turn out. Hope you’ll try it again as it’s such a quick recipe.
