Mug cakes are so simple and so fast to make! Plus it is just a single serving! An easy treat when you are craving a piece of cake, but don’t want to get out all the ingredients, heat up the oven and wait about an hour to eat. This is the best vanilla mug cake I have made (I did double the vanilla to 1/2 teaspoon and I put vanilla in the icing too), and the sprinkles make it extra fun!
For a mug cake, you simply whisk the dry ingredients together, add the liquids and mix just until combined. (I do find it is easier to mix the ingredients in a small bowl, and then transfer them to the mug to bake.) Then if you are adding sprinkles or mini chocolate chips, gently stir them into the batter. Then bake in your microwave on high for about 45 seconds to 1 minute. The cake should feel firm to to the touch when done.
Then if you want, you can top your mug cake with frosting, whipped cream or ice cream – and maybe more sprinkles!
I didn’t wait quite long enough to add the frosting – so it all melted together in the cup – which of course, was delicious too!
