Mug cakes are perfect when you're a home and craving for some cake. Instead of baking an entire cake, which can take up to a couple of hours, a mug cake takes less than 5 minutes, and you can make single serving too!
I put together a mug cake tutorial to show you how simple the process is. It took me less than 5 minutes to
make each recipe. There's 4 recipes in the tutorial... there's Chocolate Brownie, Confetti, S'More and Cheesecake.
What You'll Need

Most recipes call for 1 min on high in the microwave, if the cake is still not baked yet, put it back on high in the microwave at 15 seconds burst until the top of the cake is dry.
