Chocolate Vanilla Protein Mug Cake
You know that Rolling Stones song You Can't Always Get What You Want? Well, when it comes to me and my boyfriend and our most favorite apartment that we went to see, then YES. We totally can get what we want.
Let me walk you through the apartment without actually walking (because I am so pooped from my move I cannot even fathom getting up for more than a few seconds).
Two rooms, laundry (score!), a bathroom and, best of all and what you are all thinking about, a large kitchen with a lot of storage space. This calls for a celebration!
And what better than a mug cake?
When you have been moving everything you own into a large truck, (no, we did not hire movers...sigh) you definitely don't want to be spending much effort into making something that takes more than 5 minutes.
Also, after exerting all that energy today, I need something with protein in it. This was exactly what I needed.
So whether it's a moving celebration, a pre- or post-workout snack, or just a treat for yourself, I definitely recommend making this mug cake. You CAN get what you want, and in less than 5 minutes.
Chocolate Vanilla Protein Mug Cake
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon applesauce
- 1 ½ tablespoon milk
Instructions
- In a microwave safe mug, mix together the flour, protein powder, cocoa, sugar and baking powder.
- Add the applesauce and milk, and mix until fully incorporated.
- Microwave for 40 seconds and see if it’s done. If it’s not, microwave in 10 second intervals.
This looks fantastic, but how much cocoa powder is needed? It isn't listed in the ingredients. Looks yummy and I can't wait to try it 🙂
Oh my goodness, thank you for noticing! I just changed it. I hope you like it 🙂

Your apartment sounds perfect Cathleen, especially the kitchen. Great little protein cake.
What a great idea for mug cakes. Manservant is on a protein diet so maybe he will eat this. Glad you got what you wanted!
Congratulations on the move, Cathleen - large kitchen with lots of storage space? The best!
That's great, Cathleen! So you can finally settle in with the bf. You deserve a treat!
This looks delicious! And happy post-moving in! You must be so excited, I'm really happy for the two of you 🙂 I could well do with more storage space in the wee kitchen in the flat here, but you gotta make do with what you have 😛 I just have to figure out some nifty Ikea solutions of sorts 😛
I hope you have a lovely day, s'almost the weekend - result! x
