Blueberry Sponge Mug Cake
SINGLE SERVING Blueberry Sponge Mug Cake recipe that only takes 1 minute in the microwave to bake! This DIY easy to make recipe will help your sweet tooth cravings without packing on the extra calories!
I’m a dessert kinda girl. I eat dinner, and then sit for about 15 minutes. During those 15 minutes I try to act cool but my brain is in overdrive thinking about dessert. What should it be? A few dark chocolate pieces? A peanut butter cup? A apple spice crumble bar? A black bean brownie? The decisions!
Lately I’ve been craving cake but having a entire cake in my kitchen is putting me in the pure danger zone. Say goodbye to the food groups, now it’s just going to be cake. There’s a easy way to solve this craving though – single serving cake! Not only does this taste delicious, but it takes less than 2 minutes to make! 2 minutes for a delicious sugary soft piece of Blueberry Mug Cake? Yes, please!
Next time you have a sweet tooth and you want a piece of cake, but know having a full cake in your house isn’t a good move, reach for your mug and make this single serving Blueberry Sponge Cake!
Grab all your dry ingredients and put it in a mug.
Now add your wet ingredients. This recipe uses ½ of a egg. I would highly suggest you only half of the egg, not the entire thing, as it will be too “egg spongy”.
Now mix it up until it reaches a cake batter consistency.
Gently add your blueberries and mix around. You can use fresh or frozen berries. I always keep them in my freezer, they are great to add to your breakfast oatmeal too!
Now comes the easy baking party. Throw it in the microwave for 60-80 seconds. After 60 seconds, check in on it every 10 seconds until you see it has that bouncy cake quality.
Add some sugar on top – regular or powdered sugar. You could also add some melted chocolate or frosting on top if you’d like.
Take a bite and enjoy this Blueberry Mug Cake!

Hi Pamela, get idea to help keep one in-line or to just eat fresh cake. Love this recipe!
I love a fun back-pocket mug cake! this blueberry sponge is so bright and looks ridiculously moist! Great one!
Cake in a mug is the best invention ever. Looks fabulous.
Mug cakes are the perfect solution when you are craving something sweet 🙂 This one looks SO good! Love the blueberries!
Yum! I have all the ingredients already + this is perfect weekend treat food. On my to-make list! 🙂
This sounds like a great idea, I also hate making a cake as then it has to be eaten! Blueberries are not easy to find here but I have masses of dehydrated cherries, guess that would work as well.
Thanks for your visit, I will be back. Diane
We are a little bit obsessed with mug cakes. It’s a good way to eat cake, without having loads of cake leftover.
You know what Pamela – I’m thinking this mug cake just might be dangerous around me – because I might make and eat and make and eat and repeat till I was out of ingredients – wait – you didn’t want me to do that? 🙂
Mug cakes are the only cakes allowed in my house. This one is super beautiful! Cant wait to try. 🙂
