Mocha Mug Cake

Mocha Mug Cake

Made with Nutra Nourished Instant Coffee + Turmeric for a rich, warming boost

There’s something about a freshly baked cake—warm, soft, and comforting—that hits just right. But when you want it now (without turning on the oven or washing five mixing bowls), this Mocha Mug Cake delivers the goods in under a minute.

It’s rich. It’s chocolatey. It’s got coffee. And yes, it’s microwave magic.

 

Why This Works

This single-serve wonder is made with pantry staples, plus one powerful upgrade: Nutra Nourished Instant Coffee with Turmeric Powder. The result? A deliciously gooey mocha cake with a subtle spice warmth, balanced sweetness, and just enough caffeine to make it feel like a treat with benefits.

 

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons flour (plain or your preferred GF blend)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon Nutra Nourished Instant Coffee with Turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons milk of choice
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted if needed)

 

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, mix all dry ingredients: flour, coconut sugar, cocoa, instant coffee, and baking powder.
  2. Add the milk and coconut oil. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  3. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Depending on your microwave, you might want to check it at 50 seconds. It should rise, set at the top, but still be soft inside.
  4. Let cool for a minute or so (if you can wait), then top with sugar-free ice cream and a sprinkle of choc chips for the ultimate quick dessert.

The Final Word

Think of this as your secret weapon for weeknight indulgence, afternoon pick-me-ups, or those evenings when you want a little something sweet without making a full dessert.

Ready in a flash, made with good stuff, and packed with flavour—this mug cake proves that dessert doesn’t have to wait.

P.S. We won’t tell if you make it more than once a week.
