How to Make Eggnog Mug Cake in the Microwave

A cozy 2-minute Eggnog Mug Cake filled with warm nutmeg spice, creamy eggnog, and buttery sweetness — the perfect single-serve holiday dessert.

  • Total Time: 4 minutes
  • Yield: 1 mug cake

Ingredients

Scale

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or whole wheat/gluten-free mix)

2 tablespoons sugar (white, coconut, or erythritol)

1½ tablespoons melted butter or oil (or vegan butter)

4 tablespoons eggnog

½ teaspoon baking powder

12 pinches ground nutmeg

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, nutmeg, and baking powder.

2. Add the eggnog and melted butter (or oil), stirring until smooth.

3. Pour the batter into a microwave-safe mug, filling it halfway.

4. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds, checking after 60 seconds.

5. Cool for 1 minute, then top with whipped cream or a dusting of nutmeg.

Notes

You can substitute regular eggnog with dairy-free almond or oat-based eggnog.

Add a spoonful of white chocolate chips before cooking for a creamy surprise.

Serve warm with whipped cream, ice cream, or a caramel drizzle.
