Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons boxed cake mix (any variety, including gluten-free)
- 4 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons melted coconut oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil
- Frosting (optional, for topping)
- Sprinkles (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mug: Spray an 11 to 12-ounce microwave-safe mug or small bowl with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In the prepared mug, combine 6 tablespoons of cake mix, 4 tablespoons of water, and 2 teaspoons of melted oil. Stir thoroughly until you have a smooth batter.
- Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mixture on high power for about 1 minute and 10 seconds to 1 minute and 30 seconds. Exact time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage.
- Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the mug (it will be hot) and allow the cake to cool for a few minutes. Add frosting and sprinkles on top if desired, then enjoy your warm, single-serving cake.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave; adjust accordingly.
- Use any flavor or type of boxed cake mix to customize your mug cake.
- Optional toppings like frosting and sprinkles enhance flavor but can be omitted for a simpler dessert.
- Ensure your mug is microwave-safe and has sufficient capacity to avoid overflow while cooking.
