How can you store a mug cake?

You can prepare the mug cake in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Let it come to room temperature before baking it. You can freeze the mug cake either raw or baked, wrapped. To reheat the mug cake: let it thaw first if it comes from the freezer, and microwave it for 30 to 40 seconds.

How do I know if my mug cake is perfectly cooked in the microwave?

Keep your eyes glued to the microwave window! You'll know the mug cake is perfectly cooked when it starts to rise beautifully, just like a real French soufflé. The top should look dry but still nicely springy. Make sure not to overcook it, as we want to keep that core super gooey and soft!

Can I make this chocolate mug cake without egg (vegan version)?

Yes, that's perfectly fine! If you don't want to use an egg or want to make the recipe vegan, replace the egg with half a mashed banana or one generous tablespoon of applesauce. This will provide perfect binding and a wonderful texture. In that case, also use a plant-based milk (such as oat or almond milk) and you're good to go!

Can I substitute coconut blossom sugar with regular sugar?

Absolutely. Coconut blossom sugar gives the cake a delicious, deep and slightly caramel-like flavour, but you can substitute it 1-to-1 with fine granulated sugar, cane sugar or brown sugar.

Choose your largest mug that is microwave-safe. Add all the ingredients one by one, including half of the chopped chocolate, and mix well until everything is nicely combined. Clean the sides well, place the rest of the chocolate pieces and the nuts on top, and cook for 90 seconds at 1000W; you know it’s done when it starts to rise like a soufflé.

Remove from the microwave and enjoy immediately! Also delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side 😊
