Champagne Mug Cake
This champagne mug cake is easy to make and a fun, festive treat for parties and celebrations. It’s lightly sweetened with a hint of champagne flavor.
My family tradition is to ring in the new year with champagne, which inspired me to create this champagne mug cake.
I cooked them directly in the champagne glasses, which make them perfect for serving at a party. The cake is fizzy on your tongue as a result of the champagne bubbles.
Ingredients
- Flour
- Baking powder
- Granulated sugar
- White milk
- Champagne
- Vegetable oil
Flour:Â This mug cake is made with all-purpose flour.
Milk: I use fat-free milk, but you can use low fat milk or whole milk.
Champagne: I like to use dry champagne, but you can use your favorite. You could make a pink champagne mug cake or one that is sweeter.
Recipe Tips
Recipe TipsI cook the cakes in the champagne glasses in the microwave. You should only fill each flute half full with the batter. When you take the cake out of the microwave, hold the glass by the stem.
Cook the cakes one at a time. They only take a minute, so even if you’re doing a few batches, they won’t take long if you do them in batches.
You can cook the cake in a large microwave-safe mug if you don’t have champagne flutes.
Champagne Mug Cake Flavor
Because champagne doesn’t have too much flavor, the cake is a little plain. It basically tastes like a sweet white cake with a little fizzle.
If you want to spice it up, you can add some chopped strawberries, making it a strawberry champagne mug cake. You also add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each cake. Either way, it’s quite fun and I’m planning on making these next time I host a party.

Champagne Mug Cake
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp fat free milk
- 2 tbsp dry champagne
- 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Note: The cake is a little plain by itself so to add a little more flavor to the cake, try adding some chopped strawberries to the batter or a little champagne whipped cream frosting
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients into an oversized microwave-safe mug. Mix with a small whisk until batter is smooth. If desired, pour batter into a champagne flute. Make sure the batter only fills up half of the flute. All the batter should fit into a standard champagne flute but if yours are a little small, you may need to split the batter.
- Cook in microwave for about 1 minute. Top of cake should be dry. Let cake cool a few minutes before eating. If cooking in glass champagne flute, hold by the stem, as the glass will be quite hot.
Very awesome presentation! I like how the top kind of looks like it’s bursting forth, like a champagne bottle opening or a firework. Happy New Year, Kirbie!
I like the bursting look too! I was worried it would overflow and I’d have a mess in my microwave, but it puffed out just the right amount.
I’m surprised that champagne flutes can withstand the microwave! This is such a gorgeous looking mug cake, it looks just like fizzy drink in the flute. I’ll definitely make this for a certain friend.
I was a little worried! Haha. But it’s only 1 minute, which is why i think it held up. And the stem was still cool to the touch so it wasn’t too hot to handle.
I love champagne cake and how you presented it. The first time I had it was when I was living in L.A. and someone brought it to work. It was delicate tasting and the light champagne frosting really help bring the flavor out.
I think some champagne frosting would help with this cake. I liked it a lot, but it was a little plain. I’ll have to make some frosting next time which will also probably make a prettier presentation too.
