You could be eating cake in 5 minutes. Really, you could! Five minutes or less is all it takes to make a delicious mug cake in the microwave. You don’t need store-bought cake mix – all it takes are a few simple ingredients put together in a mug. Give them a quick mix with a fork and zap it in the microwave for the fastest cake treat ever.

Inside MUG CAKES, you’ll find recipes for Classics like Yellow Cake and even Red Velvet. Fancy-Shmancy taste buds will want to try Lemon-Thyme and Chocolate-Pasilla Chile. At my house, we love the Kids’ Stuff section that shares a yummy S’mores Mug Cake recipe. Other mug cake selections include: Adults Only, Choc-o-rama, A Little Fruity, Nuts To You, Celebrate!

There are even recipes for cake lovers with special dietary needs, including gluten-free, sugar free, dairy free, and vegan. 

One fall favorite mug cake recipe we tried is the Caramel Apple Mug Cake.
