- The microwave we use has 800W power and our mug cake comes out perfect at 60 seconds.
- We’ve tested this using soy and oat plain yoghurt.
- We also use dark cocoa powder which gives the cake a richer flavour and a darker colour, but any variety will do. If you use cacao powder, you might want to add a dash more sugar to counter the bitterness.
- Avoid using soya yoghurt for a soy-free version.
Ingredients
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp vegan plain yoghurt
- 1 tbsp water
- dash of vanilla extract
- 2 squares of dark 70% vegan chocolate
Method
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cacao powder to a mug and stir to combine.
- Stir in the vegetable oil, vegan yoghurt, water and vanilla extract.
- Push the two squares of chocolate into the middle of the cake mix and microwave for 45-60 seconds. Job done!

This was soooo good!!! Best thing when you read need a quick fix! I didnt have any yoghurt so put 3 tbsps of oat milk instead of yoghurt and water, but still worked well.
Definitely a ridiculously easy, fluffy and chocolatey treat made in no time!
I also replaced the yoghurt and water with 3 tbsp of oat milk and worked so well! 750 W microwave and about 90 seconds gets the job done too. Highly recommend!
Tasted great and so easy! Definitely recommend!!
