Description

This quick and indulgent 1-Minute Biscoff Mug Cake is perfect for a single serving dessert made in the microwave. Featuring the irresistible flavor of Biscoff spread, this easy-to-make mug cake is soft, moist, and ready in just two minutes. Topped with vanilla ice cream and crispy Biscoff cookies, it’s a delightful treat that requires minimal ingredients and no oven.


Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 3 tbsp Biscoff spread (warmed plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1 tsp brown sugar (optional)
  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp full-fat milk
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Topping

  • Vanilla ice cream (for topping)
  • Biscoff cookies (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Prepare dry ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug that holds at least 250ml (1 cup), combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or small whisk to evenly distribute the baking powder.
  2. Warm Biscoff spread: Heat the Biscoff spread in the microwave for a few seconds until soft and easily stirrable to ensure smooth incorporation into the batter.
  3. Mix wet and dry ingredients: Add the warmed Biscoff spread, brown sugar (if using), full-fat milk, and neutral oil to the mug with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until no flour streaks remain. Some tiny lumps are acceptable; avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
  4. Microwave cooking: Microwave the mug cake batter for 1 minute. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out wet, microwave for an additional 20 to 30 seconds until fully cooked but still moist.
  5. Finish and serve: While the mug cake is warm, drizzle extra Biscoff spread on top. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and decorate with a Biscoff cookie. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use a microwave-safe mug large enough to prevent overflow during rising and cooking.
  • Warming the Biscoff spread helps it mix smoothly into the batter without clumps.
  • The cake is best enjoyed immediately as it may become dense once cooled.
  • Adjust microwave times based on your appliance’s wattage for perfect baking.
  • You can substitute neutral oil with melted butter for a richer flavor if preferred.
