Remember my pizza cupcakes from last year? Well, I made a mug cake version.
This was my first venture into a savory mug cake. I am pretty happy with the results. This is great when you want just a single serving.
I don’t think this is as good as the pizza cupcakes, but it’s a good quick fix. Like the pizza cupcakes, I aimed more for a muffin texture for the base. I originally did a fluffy cake version but it felt weird to eat an unsweetened cake.
This tastes best with a side of marinara sauce. You can always pour it over the cake once it’s done cooking too.
I originally made this in a mug. It works great in a mug but because it doesn’t rise much, it was hard to show the cake in a photo. So then I made it in a 6 oz ramekin. It barely just fits in the ramekin. You have to stir it carefully and slowly, but it does work and I love how the cheese slightly bubbles over.

What are the other alternatives if i dont have an italian seasoning?
try doing an online search for making your own Italian seasoning combination! it’s basically a mix up various dry herbs and spices so you don’t have to buy each one individually
What a neat pizza treat for one! I used my GF all purpose flour and it turned out just fine. Of course, I added more cheese than called for and a bit of sauce on top of the dough before baking. Next time I will remember the Italian seasoning – bet that will be super good!
the italian seasoning really adds something!
Cant wait to try this. Sounds good and easy.
hope u enjoy!
I dont have any baking soda, can I omit it?
no, you need the baking soda
This was so good. I’d recommend microwaving it slightly longer (70 seconds) to make sure it’s cooked through, but great recipe. I usually only make sweet mug cakes but I got a craving! This hit the spot.
We’re happy you liked it!
Do you know how many calories this has?
i do not provide calorie information for my recipes, but there are many great sources on the internet where you can input a recipe and find out
So this is pretty amazing. I am trying some recipes that I can cook when I go to college, quick and compact using only a microwave. This is on the list.
I have an entire mug cake recipe collection that you can make in college! https://kirbiecravings.com/category/recipes/mug-cakes And if you do a search for “microwave” there are many other recipes too such as microwave fudge, etc.
Mine came out oily-smelling and tasting.I would suggest keep oil as your last ingredient and add only as much as is necessary to mix the batter.2 tsp should suffice.Add by the teaspoon to see if it need more oil.
Hmm, might didn’t have the oily smelling or taste
It took me a while to try this (I wasn’t sure about something called pizza cake), but I’ve finally made it and it’s so yummy! I actually couldn’t stop eating it to finish typing this comment!
Haha, so glad you enjoyed it!
Pizza…cake. That sounds like such a weird combination, but it looks so good. And those mini pepperoni are cute!
