12 Delicious and Easy Mug Cake Recipes

I have to admit, time and again, I get hit by a major sugar craving. The problem for me is the fact that I don’t want to spend hours baking a whole cake or something that will go not only be time-consuming, but also ultimately a waste. This is just one reason mug cakes have become among my favorite treats! They are very easy and fast to prepare. These small portions of heavenly sweetness have brought a new twist to cake making that is unique and more efficient.

Most mug cakes have a preparation and cooking time of no more than five minutes. There’s no need for any special baking equipment – all you need is a mug that heats evenly, a whisk to mix your butter and a microwave, (sometimes an oven). In addition, cake proportions are automatically measured using the mug, so you can easily prepare a cake enough for an individual or separate cups for different people. This obviously gives you an opportunity to flavor each cake differently.

There are surprisingly a lot of mug cake recipes out there and with a variety of flavors and dietary options – including low carb and gluten free mug cakes. Here are some of the most delicious mug cake recipes I’ve found to help you all spice up your brunch, your party, or just satisfy that sweet tooth with this delicious treat.
