We all have midnight cravings. This orange mug cake is the answer to fulfill your quick carvings.

Can we make an Orange Mug Cake?

Orange Mug Cake

I don’t often make mug cakes but we do have some quick cravings. To satisfy that I tried this Orange Mug cake with whole wheat flour and fresh orange juice. I went along with my intuition. It doesn’t disappoint me. It is a dense, fudgy, full of orange flavor cake that satisfies your craving in just minutes. The orange juice itself gives nice moisture to it. Hope you like it.

How to make Orange Mug cake in a minute

This microwave mug cake gets ready in a minute. I have used whole wheat flour and freshly squeezed orange juice and I also added Nutella for fun. You can skip Nutella if you don’t like it which I doubt strongly. (haha) Grease microwave-safe mug. Take all ingredients in a bowl and give a nice stir. Transfer it to a greased mug and microwave high for a minute. Insert a toothpick to check if it is done. If the toothpick is moist or the batter sticks, microwave for another 30 seconds.

Note: Each microwave is different and the timing may differ. But it should not take more than 1.30 minutes.

    This little mug cake is a great find so I can make something sweet for my son, who doesn’t need to eat gluten-free, while I work on GF recipes for his wife, who does.
