Ingredients for Chocolate Coconut Macaroon Mug Cake

Before we dive in, let’s gather everything you’ll need. Don’t worry, the ingredient list is super short and simple. Here’s what you’ll need:

3 tbsp shredded coconut
⅛ tsp baking powder
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp milk (any kind works—I’ve used almond milk and it’s just as good)

⅛ tsp salt

Tools You’ll Need:

A microwave-safe mug
A fork or small whisk
A small bowl for mixing

How to Make Chocolate Coconut Macaroon Mug Cake

Okay, ready to make magic in a mug? Let’s do this!

Mix the Dry Ingredients: In your mug, combine the shredded coconut, cocoa powder, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a fork to whisk everything together so it’s evenly mixed.
Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix the milk, honey, and melted coconut oil. Give it a good stir until everything is well combined.
Combine Everything: Pour the wet ingredients into the mug with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with your fork until just combined. Don’t overmix—it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
Prep the Mug: Lightly grease the inside of your mug with a bit of coconut oil or cooking spray. This helps the cake slide out easily if you want to plate it (but honestly, I usually eat it straight from the mug).
Microwave Time: Pop the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. After that, check it by poking the center with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, it’s done! If not, microwave in 30-second intervals until it’s firm but still moist. Total cook time is usually around 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Cool and Enjoy: Let it cool for a minute or two (if you can wait that long!). Then, dig in!

Making It Extra Special
Want to take your mug cake to the next level? Here are a few of my favorite ways to make it extra special:

Drizzle with Honey: A little extra honey on top adds a touch of sweetness and makes it look fancy.
Add a Scoop of Ice Cream: Vanilla ice cream pairs perfectly with the chocolate and coconut flavors.
Sprinkle with Coconut: A little extra shredded coconut on top adds texture and makes it look pretty.
Dust with Powdered Sugar: If you’re feeling fancy, a light dusting of powdered sugar is always a good idea.

Common Questions I Get

Can I make this ahead of time?

Honestly, this is best enjoyed fresh out of the microwave. But if you really want to prep ahead, you can mix the dry ingredients in the mug and store it until you’re ready to add the wet ingredients and microwave.

Can I substitute almond flour?

Yes! If you don’t have almond flour, you can use regular flour or even oat flour. Just keep in mind that the texture might be slightly different.

What if I don’t have coconut oil?

No worries! You can use butter or any other neutral oil instead.
