Boxed cake mixes supply necessary leavening and base ingredients for quick single-serving mug cakes. Use five to six tablespoons of mix with four tablespoons of water, and optionally add a couple teaspoons of neutral oil for moisture and fat. Pumpkin puree or applesauce can replace oil for added moisture and nutrients. Choose a microwave-safe mug large enough to prevent overflow. Level each spoonful of mix for accurate proportions and thoroughly homogenize the batter before microwaving. Careful measurements and balanced ratios produce reliable texture and rise in a mug cake.
When you don't want to make an entire cake that can serve several, finding an easy way to enjoy an individual serving on the fly can seem like a dream. Using a mug intended for microwave cooking and heating, you can easily prepare your favorite mug cake in minutes.
From there, it's simply a matter of balancing ratios and maintaining accurate measurements. Start with five to six tablespoons of cake mix and combine it with four tablespoons of water. If you wish, you can also add a couple teaspoons of a neutral oil like canola, vegetable, or coconut for added sweetness and fat content. There are also a number of alternative ingredients swaps you can make for added nutrition.
