Emma Goodies’ Mug Cake Recipe

Jump to Recipe

Want a cup of vanilla cake? Wait, what? Yes, you read that right! Vanilla cake in a mug is the best ever invention for sweet indulgence, any time you want. It’s super soft, easy to make, and quick. 

Inspired by the renowned pastry chef Emma Fontanella, today’s vanilla mug cake is one of her classics. I love her famous YouTube channel, Emma’s Goodies, where she uploads tons of her baking recipes. She also has an amazing section on microwave recipes, which gave me the inspiration to try more microwave-friendly recipes. 

If you have noticed, recently, I have been putting up more microwave-based recipes, whether they’re cookies, pancakes, or simple cakes. What I love about microwave recipes is that they are perfect for single servings and are super quick to make. 

This Emma Goodies Mug Cake is a simple vanilla cake. Its texture is super soft and moist. You can easily top it with any of your favorite frosting. I love Nutella, so I have added that for the topping.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe? 

  • Mess-Free: The mug cake recipes are pretty hassle-free. You don’t have to collect many ingredients separately; make the batter in bowls, then transfer it to a mold and bake. You can easily add all ingredients to the mug, make the batter in it, and keep it in the microwave for baking. It’s such a mess-free method. 
  • Bake it Anytime: I don’t like the fact that when I’m craving a cake, I will have to bake a whole cake for just a single bite. It takes loads of effort and your time. The great thing about this mug cake is that you can make it any time you want and not worry about any wastage. It’s perfect for a single serving portion, which you can enjoy any time of the day. 
  • Versatile: Since it’s a basic vanilla cake, you can add numerous toppings of your choice. You can even add chocolate chips, nuts, or sprinklers inside the batter for different flavors and textures. 
  • It’s Eggless: The recipe is eggless, which makes it more special as it can be enjoyed by vegetarians as well. The taste and texture are still very soft and unique despite being eggless. 

Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe

  • Butter: Salted butter is what we need for the recipe. That way, we won’t need to add salt to the recipe. Butter helps provide a lovely buttery texture and flavor to the cake.
  • All-Purpose Flour: Use all-purpose flour to make a light and soft cake. Using any other flour will change the texture of the cake. 
  • Baking powder: It helps rise the cake, making it incredibly soft and tender. 
  • Milk: I use full-fat milk for my recipes. It helps provide a great richness. You can use toned milk as well. 
  • Castor Sugar: Do not replace castor sugar with powdered or granulated sugar. Castor sugar helps retain aeration in the cake and also melts faster while cooking. 
  • Vanilla Essence: Use good quality vanilla essence and avoid using water-diluted ones.

How To Make Emma Goodies’ Mug Cake

Preparation: Simply collect all ingredients required to make the cake. Select your mug as well. 

Make Batter: Melt butter and add castor sugar and vanilla essence. Give this a nice mix. Add milk and stir again. Finally, add the sifted dry ingredients and make a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps in the batter.  Transfer the batter to a mug.

Bake: Place the mug in the microwave and cook it for 1-2 minutes until it rises to the top and seems cooked from the inside. You can do the toothpick test. 

Serve: Spread some Nutella and garnish it with rainbow sprinklers. Enjoy your easiest vanilla mug cake dessert. 

Chef’s Tips For The Recipe

Bake In Blasts

Each microwave is different, so cook the cake in blasts of 30 seconds. Keep checking for doneness and bake for the next blast accordingly. Avoid over-baking the cake. 

Play With Flavors

Add chocolate chips, sprinklers, or favorite nuts to make new flavors. Top them with different frostings too. This way, you can create many recipes with just one cake.

How To Store Emma Goodies’ Mug Cake

This mug cake recipe is recommended to be consumed immediately. I would not suggest to store it. However, if you still wish to eat it later, you can keep it in the refrigerator in an air-tight box for three days.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
