A rich, fudgy, and gooey chocolate brownie mug cake with juicy bursts of raspberries — ready in just 1 minute! Quick, single-serve, and perfect for chocolate lovers.
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
In a large microwave-safe mug, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add milk and melted butter. Stir until smooth and lump-free.
Gently fold in finely chopped raspberries.
Microwave on high for 1 minute (microwave power: 900–1000W). Adjust time slightly if your microwave is stronger or weaker.
Let it cool for 1–2 minutes.
Top with whipped cream, fresh raspberries, and a drizzle of honey before serving.
Add a few chocolate chips for extra fudginess.
Swap raspberries with blueberries, strawberries, or cherries.
For extra indulgence, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Can I make this mug cake without raspberries?
Yes! You can skip them or replace with strawberries, blueberries, or even chocolate chips for extra richness.
Can I make this mug cake vegan?
Absolutely. Use plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat) and swap butter with coconut oil or vegan butter.
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, but it may make the cake a bit denser. Try half all-purpose and half whole wheat for a better texture.
What if I don’t have cocoa powder?
You can replace it with hot chocolate mix (but reduce sugar slightly) or use melted chocolate stirred into the batter.
Can I double the recipe in one mug?
Not recommended — it won’t cook evenly. Instead, make two separate mugs and microwave them one at a time.
Why did my mug cake turn out rubbery?
It’s likely overcooked. Reduce microwave time by 10–15 seconds next time, as microwaves vary in power.
Can I make it sugar-free?
Yes, swap sugar with stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol — but taste and texture may change slightly.
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, but it may make the cake a bit denser. Try half all-purpose and half whole wheat for a better texture.
