Vegan Chocolate Mug Cake (Quick & Fudgy!)
🌱 Vegan Chocolate Mug Cake 🍫
This Vegan Chocolate Mug Cake is a fudgy single-serve cake you mix in the mug and microwave. Dark cocoa, a moist crumb, and a spoonful that still looks molten in the middle. No eggs. No dairy. No waiting for the oven.
I love this when I want chocolate and I want it now. Stop the microwave while the center still looks a little wet. It keeps cooking in the mug. Overcook it and it turns into a brownie brick. 💚

The Secret to a Fudgy Mug Cake
Use a mug that’s at least 12 ounces so it doesn’t overflow. Mix until you don’t see dry cocoa pockets, then stop. Microwave 60–90 seconds depending on your wattage. If the top looks dry and cracked all the way through, you went too long.

Notes & Tips 💡
- Start at 60 seconds in a 1000W microwave and add 10-second bursts.
- A pinch of espresso powder makes the chocolate taste darker.
- Top with vegan ice cream or peanut butter if you want it extra.
- Don’t fill the mug more than halfway. It rises.
