It was delicious 😋. I'll be making this again! I love chocolate cake and unfortunately I couldn't eat the whole cake! I substituted the sugar for swerve sugar(less amount).

Best chocolate mug cake recipe I’ve tried. Didn’t add egg or water, but it still turned out great.

Very bad. Eery single time I try out a mug cake recipe it turns out spongey and not eatable.

Maybe I needed a bigger cup but i had self raising flour - maybe I didn’t need to add baking soda.. it overflowed haha also needed more chocolate flavour

It turned out great, after 1:15 it was actually cooked, which surprised me because usually mug desserts are still raw after that long in my microwave. I had only large eggs, so I used only the yolk instead of the whole egg. I didn't have any chocolate or Nutella, so I used a spoonful of peanut butter instead. Great recipe!

I used gluten free flour. Swerve was used in the place of sugar. I cooked it in a large mug for 1 minute and 20 seconds. The taste was ok. It didn’t cook long enough even though I did the test the recipe said to use. This was way too much dessert for me.

It was really good but it came out with a tiny bit of water on top which made it a bit weird but over all it was a great recipe and I’ll definitely make it again!

Turned out tasty but 1:15 was too long in my microwave and the chocolate pieces melted into the cake - didn't remain like a molten center. Still good though.

Great recipe!! I mean.. hard to go wrong with a brownie in any shape or form but this recipe just comes together nicely.

My go-to mug cake recipe. It is delicious, rich, a large portion (great to save for later), and its so easy to make. Pairs great with ice cream, whipped cream, or a red wine 😉 would 100% recommend to anyome who LOVES chocolate or lava cakes.

The cake came out well overall, but there are some cautions. First, it takes much longer than the stated "This cake takes 5 minutes from thought to table." If you really want the egg and the milk to be room temperature, that's an hour outside of the refrigerator right there. Since I used a slab of French chocolate rather than a candy bar, it had to be chopped with a knife, and that takes time.
I mixed the batter in one mug then scraped it into another. That's because I'd greased the baking mug with butter, and am glad I did so. The batter is very thick, and I can't emphasize enough that it has to be stirred REALLY WELL to avoid leaving pockets of dry ingredients, especially near the bottom.
Oddly, the size of the baking mug is not specified, but I recommend at least 10 oz. Mine overflowed a bit, but it was attractive.
I was generous with the baking chocolate, but it seemed to get absorbed into the cake. You can easily use twice the amount in the recipe.
Be careful with the top layer of water. Use the amount specified and no less.
The cake was a tiny bit rubbery and the edges a bit dry. That may have been because it was microwaved for one minute and 45 seconds. Most likely it would have worked fine at a minute and a half, but that's something we each have to figure out for ourselves.
P.S. I added a half teaspoon of instant coffee to the dry ingredients and wished I'd used more.
