Microwave mug cake just got even easier with this handy hot chocolate mug cake mix.
Stir it together, store it in a jar, and have it handy when you need a 2 minute cake!
The mix would also make a fabulous gift idea for teachers, friends, and those hard-to-buy-for relatives.
How to make this quick & easy mug cake mix
Ingredients you’ll need:
This homemade mug cake mix only requires 3 ingredients!
- One Box of Angel Food Cake
- One Box of Brownie Mix
- One-half cup of coco powder
Stir together the mix and store it in a tightly sealed container.
Step 1: Mix all of the dry ingredients together and store the dry mix. We use two quart mason jars to store the mix.
When ready to use, just mix together 1/4 cup mug cake mix and 1/8 cup water & microwave!
Step 2: When ready to use, spray a mug with oil. Add 1/8 cup of water to the mug and 1/4 cup of the dry mix. Stir well. Microwave it for 1 minute. Let it sit for one minute after you pull it out of the microwave.
If you spray your mug with cooking oil spray first, it can be turned onto a plate for a pretty dessert!
Step 3: After the minute is up, run a knife around the cake in the mug and turn out onto a plate.
A sprinkle of powdered sugar gives a plain chocolate mug cake instant “frosting”!
Sprinkle with icing sugar or whipped cream for an instant “frosting”.
How we use this hot chocolate microwave mug cake in our home.
My mother surprised me with a handcrafted tea set from Poland. I have teacups from around the world, this was such a special gift to me and my girls! What a better way to celebrate a warm afternoon (love Texas weather) than by having a hot chocolate party to christen in our tea set, together.
We decided chocolate mug cakes would be the perfect thing to help us celebrate. This recipe is so easy that my 7 year old made these! The cakes will be shaped differently depending on the size and shape of the mug.
I think my girls are developing a love of chocolate and “parties” too!
Happy chocolate cake tea party!

This is such an easy recipe it is almost too good to be true 🙂 Chocolate cake for snack time? Count me in! Thank you for sharing and for linking up this week to the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop.
No doubt this would be a huge hit – thanks for linking up at After School!
This sounds delicious!
Looks awesome and so easy! Pinning!
Great to “meet” you on craft schooling Sunday, and love this post. Gorgeous tea pot gift, and love that you took the cakes out of the mugs, great call! Now I just have to find a way to re-interpret your cake mix ingredients without a mix, mixes are very expensive here (and quite new actually) so it’s not worth it. All the best!
Thank you so much for the easy and quick recipe! I am in love with your beautiful blue and White dishes. Came from Saturday Sparks, you are featured there and me too, lol! Enjoy your weekend.

Happy Chanukah to you and family.

Yum! Hot chocolate is one of our favorite drinks of the winter season so we can't wait to try this recipe ourselves! This is a great and quick recipe to try out with family and friends during the holiday vacation. We will be tweeting your hot chocolate cake recipe to our followers from our Twitter account, @OncorPML. Thanks for sharing!
I tried these and they turned out like Pudding or like a fallen cake, help. Is there a certain angle food mix or brownie mix you are to use, or maybe the microwave setting.
