Mug Cake Recipe Kenya

A mug cake is one of the easiest cake recipes for beginners. It is quick, simple and useful when you want to practice cake mixing without baking a full cake.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or drinking chocolate, optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon oil or melted margarine
  • A few drops vanilla essence, optional

Method

  1. Use a microwave-safe mug.
  2. Mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder and baking powder.
  3. Add milk, oil or melted margarine and vanilla essence.
  4. Mix until smooth, but do not overmix.
  5. Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes until the cake rises and sets.
  6. Let it cool slightly before eating.
Mug cakes are good for learning, but for selling, move to cupcakes, loaf cakes and full cakes because they package better.

Beginner Baking Tip

Mug cakes help you understand measurements, texture and flavour quickly. Once you are confident, you can move to cupcakes, scones, doughnuts and full cakes.
