Chocolate Vegan Mug Cake FAQs
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! While it’s best fresh, you can store the dry ingredients in an airtight container. Just add the wet ingredients and microwave when you’re ready.
How long does it last?
The mug cake is best eaten immediately, but any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Can I freeze it?
Freezing isn’t recommended as it affects the texture.
What substitutions work?
Swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend for a gluten-free version. You can also use almond or oat milk instead of water for extra creaminess.
Quick Tips
- Fresh is best! I tried making these ahead for movie night, and while they were good, they weren’t as amazing as fresh from the microwave.
- Enjoy the moment when the chocolate chips are still warm and melty – it’s pure bliss!
Try These Flavorful Twists
Want to take it up a notch? Here’s my favorite twist:
Add a pinch of instant coffee or espresso powder. I first tried this when I was low on cocoa powder, and now I do it all the time. It gives the chocolate an even richer taste!
