As the last days of summer slowly fade into the sunset, I’ve been succumbing to my sweet tooth. On a lazy summer afternoon, there is nothing more satisfying than indulging in cake. The problem is that cakes take a lot of time and energy to bake, not to mention that I can’t finish it all. Recently, however, I’ve discovered a faster, easier, and “healthier” alternative: mug cakes.
“Mug cakes” require only a fraction of the ingredients and time require to make a cake, but have the same sweet taste. Since the portions are smaller as well, you’ll be tempted to eat less. Whether you’re craving a solo cup of desserts or baking a batch for a company of friends, grab your favorite mug(s) and have a toast to sweetness.
Chocolate and Banana Cake

- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of milk
- 2 tablespoons of seed oil
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 egg
- Vanilla sugar to taste
- 1/2 banana
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
First, combine all the dry ingredients, then add in the wet ingredients (milk, egg, seed oil). Cut banana into small pieces and add to mixture. Cook for 7-9 minutes at 800W.
Snickerdoodle Mug Cake
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 2 teaspoons of coconut sugar (you can use common sugar instead)
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup of wheat or almond flour
- Chocolate chips to taste
First, melt the butter into the mug, then add egg yolk and sugar. Mix everything until smooth. Next add the flour and chocolate chips. Microwave for 1.5 minutes.
Cheesecake
- 50 g of cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons of sour cream

- Berries for garnishing if desired
Simply mix all the ingredients together and microwave for 1.5 minutes. Add berries, nuts, or whipped cream to make it even more deliciously sweet!
