Mug Cake Recipe – Christmas pudding made in a mug, in the microwave in 90 seconds! Christmas Recipes.

My microwave Christmas mug cake recipe recipe only takes a moment to cook and fills the air with the scent of Christmas.

This Mug Cake Recipe is part of my Christmas Recipes selection.

Based on my Chocolate Mug Cake recipe from my book I adapted it for ITV This Mornings Christmas Special. Which also includes my prawn starter mug meal and my entire Christmas Dinner cooked in a mug!

  • This looks great! – we’re going to try these with our Beaver scouts – if they haven’t got a microwave, how long and what temperature do you recommend for a conventional oven please so they can all do these – we’re going to be doing them via zoom!

    • Hi Ruth, that’s so cool! I hope your Beaver Scouts enjoy it! If they haven’t got an oven you can try in a similar size vessel at 200FAN for about 20 minutes – but I’m not 100% as this recipe was specifically developed to be cooked in a mug in a microwave!

      • Thanks Theo, the Beavers had a great time making these – several said they looked revolting whilst mixing them up but then when they cooked couldn’t wait for them to cool down enough to eat them!! – the ones that did them in the oven seemed to do well too. would send photos but don’t think i can on here! do you do an Easter version with marzipan? – will have to have a play and see if we can jusgle this to make one 🙂
        Thanks, and Happy Christmas!

  • love, love, LOVE this recipe! To make it more Christmassy, I added some dried currants, mini choc chips, and dried cranberries. Yummers! This was the softest, most delicious mug cake…EVER. Thank you.

    P.S. I know it’s not Christmas yet, but the Hallmark Channel is playing Christmas movies and that was all the inspiration I needed to search for a Christmas mug cake.

    • I love that you love it! And I think Christmas is good at any time of the year! Thank you for the lovely comment – really made me smile!
