Coffee Mug Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Using a 10 to 16 ounce microwave safe coffee mug, spray the insides with the non stick spray.
• Add 7 TBS of the box cake mix. (Save the rest of the mix in a sealed container for later use.).
• Next add the oil and water to the cup and mix thoroughly.
• Finally, add the egg and mix well.
• Place in microwave and microwave on high for 3 minutes. The cake may rise above the top of the cup, but don't worry. When finished, check center with a toothpick. If pick comes out clean, then the cake is done.
• Allow to cool for several minutes and then turn cake out onto a dish or serve right in the coffee mug.
• Remember microwave strengths may vary and this might alter your time.

Steps:

• Lightly butter 4 small microwave-safe mugs. Whisk 1/2 cup each sugar and buttermilk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in a large bowl until smooth, about 2 minutes. Whisk in 1/2 cup flour, 1/8 teaspoon baking soda and a pinch of salt until just combined. Pour 1/3 cup batter into each mug. Microwave, one at a time, until puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 2 minutes. (Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, if needed.) Let cool slightly. Top as desired.
