Accessible, easy baking for everyone

How to make a vegan cake in a microwave, in less than 10 minutes, using simple ingredients you don’t even have to weigh out, with no waste, no leftovers and little washing up.

Conventional cake making can be tricky as there is an exact science behind them. Failure to follow the recipe can have dramatic consequences. Mug cakes on the other hand are fun, quick fixes that you can enjoy as soon as you decide you want one. They’re also perfect for one. Normally, they are made using an egg, which means they are unsuitable for vegans, but the 40 plant-based recipes here will range from classics such as gooey chocolate brownie mug cake, to a delicious peanut butter and lemon and blueberry mug cakes, all made using vegan-friendly ingredients.
