How to Make White Chocolate & Strawberry Mug Cake
Ready to make this delicious mug cake? Follow these easy steps:
Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the butter and white chocolate chips. Microwave on high for 30-40 seconds, or until melted and smooth. Stir well to combine.
Cool Slightly: Let the mixture cool for 1-2 minutes to avoid scrambling the egg.
Mix Batter: Add the egg, flour, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) to the mug. Stir until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
Pre-Cook Batter: Microwave the batter for 5 seconds to help it begin setting.
Add Jam: Drop the strawberry jam onto the center of the batter. Do not stir.
Cook: Microwave for 50-60 seconds, or until the cake is set but still moist. Cooking times may vary based on microwave strength, so check at 50 seconds.
Cool and Serve: Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and enjoy warm!
That’s it! In under two minutes, you’ll have a warm, gooey cake that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.

Common Questions I Get
Can I make this ahead of time?
Not really. Mug cakes are best enjoyed fresh out of the microwave. The good news? It only takes a few minutes to make!
What if I don’t like strawberry jam?
No problem! You can use raspberry jam, apricot jam, or even Nutella. The recipe is super flexible, so use what you love.
Do I have to use white chocolate chips?
Not at all. You can swap them out for regular chocolate chips or even caramel chips if you’d like.
