Microwave Vanilla Mug Cake

When you are having a craving for cake, but don’t want to be bothered with making a whole cake and then dealing with all the leftovers (and temptations), a mug and microwave can quickly come to the rescue, as this easy vanilla mug cake proves.

Just stir together a little cake mix, some fat-free yogurt and a little water in a microwave-safe mug and about 2 minutes later you’ll be rewarded with a delicious little single serving cake that can be enjoyed plain or with your favorite topping.

How to Make Microwave Vanilla Mug Cake for One

Step 1: Gather and prepare all ingredients.

Step 2: Spray a microwave-safe mug with nonstick baking spray. Add the cake mix, yogurt and 2 tablespoons water to mug and mix well.

Step 3: Microwave on HIGH power for 2 minutes, or until cake is set.

Step 4: Allow cake to cool and serve in mug or remove to a small plate. Top with optional toppings, if desired.

Recipe Notes

If you need fat-free vanilla yogurt and only have plain on hand, simply measure out your 2 tablespoons plain fat-free yogurt and stir in a couple drops pure vanilla extract.

Different mug sizes may affect cooking times. The mug I used for this cake is quite large, so it resulted in larger, flatter cake that was done in about 2 minutes. If your mug is smaller, your cake probably won’t be as wide, but will likely be taller and you may need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.

There are many different types of microwaves with different power outputs, and this too may alter your cooking time.

Not a fan of vanilla—substitute with your favorite cake mix and fat-free yogurt flavors for a customized dessert!

Serving Suggestions

Once cooled, enjoy this cake right in the mug, or you can remove it to a plate. If desired, top with your favorite topping!
