The microwave we use has 800W power and our mug cake comes out perfect at 60 seconds.
We’ve tested this using soy and oat plain yoghurt.
We also use dark cocoa powder which gives the cake a richer flavour and a darker colour, but any variety will do. If you use cacao powder, you might want to add a dash more sugar to counter the bitterness.
Avoid using soya yoghurt for a soy-free version.

This was soooo good!!! Best thing when you read need a quick fix! I didnt have any yoghurt so put 3 tbsps of oat milk instead of yoghurt and water, but still worked well.
Definitely a ridiculously easy, fluffy and chocolatey treat made in no time!
I also replaced the yoghurt and water with 3 tbsp of oat milk and worked so well! 750 W microwave and about 90 seconds gets the job done too. Highly recommend!
