Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine all ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
2. Divide between four mugs. One at a time, microwave on high for 2 1/2-3 minutes, until cake rises above the mug.
3. Let cool for 2 minutes and garnish with desired toppings.


Tip: Cakes can be made in mugs, cooled and then frozen for up to 1 month. Add toppings just before serving.
