Microwave Cake in a Mug Recipe

Disclosure: This post may contain referral/affiliate links.

Microwave Cake in a MugHave you ever tried a cake in a mug?

I have heard about making protein cakes/muffins in a mug and thought I would throw something of my own together.  Who would have ever thought I might try to come up with my own recipe?

I think my protein mug cake turned out just fine.  I might not use a whole egg next time rather just the white but we’ll see.

I look forward to trying more varieties too.  Next time I might add oatmeal and cocoa or chocolate protein powder.  So many ways you could try this one out.

Here’s the recipe:

Almond Vanilla Cake in a Mug

  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1 egg
  • vanilla (a quick pour, didn’t measure)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 scoop protein powder

Then follow these steps:

Mix everything together well in a mug.

Put in microwave 1-2 minutes.

Watch that the cake doesn’t go over the top of the mug!

I put about a heaping tablespoon of vanilla Greek Yogurt and a tablespoon of peanut butter on top.

Fun snack for today.

      You’re welcome! I tried it again yesterday but this time with cocoa and an egg white. It was MUCH better!

    This looks great. I have some Almond Milk in my refrigerator that my kids won’t drink plain. I think I might try this out next time they are asking for a snack. Maybe I could even get my husband (who doesn’t like anything healthy) to eat this as a treat.

      Good way to use that almond milk. I have had a few since I did the post and I like it for a quick snack.
