How to Make a Vegan Mug Cake

The fresh shredded zucchini keeps this mug cake moist and the coconut milk adds just enough creamy richness to make this your new favorite mug cake recipe.

Here are some other mug cake ideas:

• Coconut Vanilla Bean Mug Cake – instead of lemon opt for vanilla bean paste or extract + shredded coconut.

This mug cake doesn’t lack lemon flavor! It’s bursting with lemon! 
When Meyer lemons are in season, I highly suggest using them!
