How to make a Mug Cake with Cake Mix
Measure out all of the ingredients and add them to your microwave-safe mug. Mix well. I like to add a few extra sprinkles on top because there are never enough sprinkles. 😉
Place your mug into the microwave and bake for about 1.5 minutes. Open microwave, remove mug and give it a moment to cool before enjoying. Psst. add frosting on top for an even more magical experience. 😉

Other Microwave Cake Mix Add-Ins
Adding chocolate chips, or more sprinkles while it’s baking could be a delicious idea. Adding a nice powdered sugar glaze to the top of the mug cake after its done baking could help it to feel more complete like a real cake.
Microwave Cake Mix FAQs
Yes, the cake is fully cooked and becomes hot enough to bake just as you would in the oven, just in a smaller portion!!
This mug cake should not be mushy, if it is, it hasn’t been cooked long enough.
Sure- that shouldn’t change anything but make the cake taste more rich!

I did this but added in some instant espresso and used a mix of liquid creamer and milk instead of water. Not disappointed. 😊
Yum!! Thanks, Tiffiny!
So it doesn’t need oil or egg? Fantastic idea, but am afraid to try. Hate to waste if it doesn’t work.
Hi Liz, nope, all that is needed is the water. 🙂

It is just an 8 oz mug. 🙂

I made this last night for my husband and I. I did a slightly larger mix, used a larger mug, and microwaved for 2 minutes. 2 spoons, 1 mug cake! I was blown away how moist the cake was! What a fun treat!
