Today, I’m so excited to share my Eggless Vanilla Mug Cake with Condensed Milk recipe. I remember the first time I made a mug cake it was late at night, and I craved something sweet but didn’t want to bake an entire cake. I wanted something quick, cozy, and indulgent. That night, this eggless vanilla mug cake became my go-to comfort treat. Soft, fluffy, and with the richness of condensed milk, it feels like a warm hug in a cup. I’ve made it countless times since, and every time, it brings back that same cozy memory.
I love how simple this recipe is. It’s perfect for when you need a small sweet treat without the fuss, and it’s also a wonderful option for anyone avoiding eggs. The combination of vanilla and condensed milk makes it moist and tender, with a naturally sweet flavor that everyone in the family will adore.
Why I Love Making This Recipe
This recipe is close to my heart because it’s simple, fast, and satisfying. On busy weekdays, when the oven feels like too much effort, a mug cake is a lifesaver. What I love most is that it only takes a few minutes from start to finish. I can mix everything directly in a mug, pop it in the microwave, and in less than five minutes, I have a treat that feels like it came from a bakery.
Also, it’s so versatile! You can enjoy it plain, add chocolate chips, a drizzle of caramel, or a sprinkle of nuts. It’s always a crowd-pleaser, and making it eggless ensures that anyone even friends or family who avoid eggs can enjoy it without worry.
Ingredients & Little Kitchen Secrets
Here’s what you need for one mug cake:
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons milk (any kind)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil
Little kitchen secrets:
- Make sure your condensed milk is at room temperature; it mixes more easily.
- For a richer flavor, you can use full-fat milk or add a teaspoon of cream.
- Don’t overfill your mug it will rise in the microwave. Use a standard 250ml mug.
How I Make It, Step by Step
- In a small bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the condensed milk, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Lightly grease your mug with butter or oil. Pour the batter into the mug, leaving about 1/4 of the mug empty.
- Microwave on high for 90 seconds. The cake should rise and be springy to the touch. Don’t overcook, or it will become rubbery.
- Let it cool for 1–2 minutes it will continue to set slightly.
Optional: sprinkle with powdered sugar, drizzle with chocolate sauce, or top with fresh berries.
How I Serve It at Home
I love serving this eggless vanilla mug cake with condensed milk straight in the mug for a casual treat. Sometimes I add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a special dessert. It’s perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up or a quick dessert after dinner. Pair it with a cup of tea or coffee for the ultimate cozy experience.
Storage, Reheating & Make-Ahead Tips
- Best eaten immediately, but you can refrigerate leftovers for up to 1 day.
- Reheat in the microwave for 20–30 seconds before serving.
- You can double the ingredients and make multiple mug cakes at once. Just prepare each mug separately for even cooking.
