If you’re in need of a quick and easy dessert that you can make in just a few minutes, look no further. With this easy microwave Cake Mix Mug Cake, there’s no need to worry about baking powder, eggs, or hours of preparation.

Perfectly portioned, this delectable mug cake is ready in a couple minutes and can be customized with your own mix-ins and toppings.

The recipe I’m sharing today makes enough for 16 servings so you will be well-prepared for satisfying those sudden sweet cravings!

HOW TO MAKE CAKE MIX MUG CAKE

Before you get started, make sure you have the following ingredients:

  • Angel Food cake mix 
  • Confetti cake mix 
  • Canned whipped topping
  • Confetti sprinkles

MAKING THE CAKE MIX

Once you’ve gathered all your ingredients, follow the steps below for a sweet and easy dessert!

steps for making a mug cake

  1. Mix both cake mixes together in a bowl that has a sealed cover. Place the cover on and shake well. 
  2. To make a mug cake, place 3 tablespoons of the dry mixture in a big coffee mug and stir in 2 tablespoons of water until the batter is smooth. 
  3. This mixture can be stored in the air tight container until you get the urge for dessert. 
  4. Microwave it for one minute. Cake will be hot.

Top with whipped topping and sprinkles and enjoy!

CAKE MIX MUG CAKE TIPS

  • Mix the ingredients well. It’s important to mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure that the mug cake turns out evenly cooked. Use a small whisk or fork to combine the ingredients until the batter is smooth.
  • If you want your cake to be extra moist, mix in a teaspoon of vegetable oil to the mix before microwaving.
  • If you do not have a microwave-safe mug, use a small microwave-safe bowl instead.
  • Make sure to leave some room at the top of the mug for the mug cake to rise as it cooks. If you fill the mug too full, the mug cake may overflow or turn out uneven.
  • Since there are so few ingredients, this mug cake mix is great for gifting and care packages! Just place some mix in a decorative bag with the preparation instructions and gift it along with a nice new mug.

HOW CAN I CUSTOMIZE THIS CAKE?

There are an endless amount of variations for this recipe, including toppings and add-ins. Some great examples include mini chocolate chips, candy or baking chips and fruit bits.

For toppings, anything ranging from frosting and Nutella to candy bar pieces, fruit, or ice cream will taste amazing on top of this mug cake. Pretty much anything you can conjure up will go great with this dessert!

CAN THIS MUG CAKE BE MADE WITH ANY BOXED CAKE MIX?

The Angel Food cake mix actually provides the necessary ingredients that allows the mug cake to rise, so I would always make sure to include the box of Angel Food cake mix.

Now, for the other box of mix, feel free to use any cake mix you wish! Some other great options include red velvet, double chocolate, or caramel cake mix.

WHAT SIZE OF MUG DO I NEED TO MAKE THE CAKE?

An 11-12 ounce mug size will accommodate this recipe. If you have a larger mug, feel free to double the recipe!

CAN I MAKE THIS MUG CAKE IN THE OVEN INSTEAD OF THE MICROWAVE?

While mug cakes are traditionally made in the microwave, you can bake them in the oven.

To do this, preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the mug cake in a small oven-safe dish for about 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO STORE THE CAKE MIX?

Once prepared, store the mug cake mix in a storage bag, a glass container with a lid, or in an airtight container. When you’re ready to eat, just follow the recipe instructions and enjoy!
