Soft, Fluffy, Pistachio Perfection

Light, fluffy, and infused with real pistachio flavor, this single serve pistachio cake is made in a ramekin or mug and ready in under 10 minutes—yes, really. No eggs, no oven, no waiting around.

Why You’ll Love this Pistachio Microwave Cake
This isn’t your average microwave cake. We’re talking ultra-soft pistachio mug cake with warm vanilla notes and that signature buttery pistachio flavor in every bite. It’s everything you want in a pistachio cake, but made microwaveable. And the best part? It’s cooked in just 45 seconds.
Want to take it over the top? Add a scoop of creamy vanilla high-protein ice cream (just three ingredients!) and drizzle with rich, velvety pistachio butter. I used 100% pistachio butter so it’s got no additives. Then sprinkle some crushed pistachios for that extra crunch. It’s giving fancy bakery vibes…with none of the effort.
Whether you’re craving a late-night treat or need something sweet after dinner, this microwaveable pistachio cake delivers. Quick, easy, and tastes like dessert meets protein goal—every time.
