mug cakes

Single-serving treats

Mug cakes are single-serving cakes mixed and cooked in a mug, typically in a microwave.

The appeal is speed and portion control—a cake craving satisfied in under five minutes with minimal cleanup.

Recipes proliferate online for chocolate, vanilla, and countless variations: I made a mug cake at midnight when I wanted something sweet.
