Coconut cake in 5 minutes

Posted on January 1, 2026 by Admin

Ah! A 5-minute coconut cake is usually a microwave mug cake—super quick, fluffy, and perfect for a coconut craving without baking a whole cake. Here’s a full recipe:


🥥 5-Minute Coconut Mug Cake

Ingredients (Serves 1)

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut (plus extra for topping)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a microwave-safe mug, combine:
    • Flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and desiccated coconut.
  • Stir well so everything is evenly distributed.

2️⃣ Add Wet Ingredients

  • Add milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
  • Mix until smooth, no lumps.

3️⃣ Microwave

  • Cook on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes.
    • Check at 90 seconds—cake should spring back lightly when touched.
    • Don’t overcook or it will dry out.

4️⃣ Optional Topping

  • Sprinkle extra desiccated coconut on top.
  • Drizzle with honey, chocolate syrup, or condensed milk if desired.

5️⃣ Serve

  • Enjoy directly in the mug or transfer to a plate.
  • Best eaten warm.

✅ Tips for the Perfect 5-Minute Coconut Cake

  • Use fresh desiccated coconut for stronger flavor.
  • You can add chocolate chips, nuts, or a few raisins for variety.
  • If you like a denser cake, reduce milk slightly.

💡 Quick Fun Fact:
This mug cake is essentially a microwave version of a traditional coconut sponge, so it has the same coconut flavor but is ready in minutes—perfect for when you crave something sweet fast.


If you want, I can also make a “5-Minute Coconut Cake for 2–4 People” version, so you don’t have to make multiple mugs and can share it instantly.

Do you want me to make that version?
