This week, I decided to make mug cakes, which are individual-sized cakes that are baked and eaten in mugs. Since these cakes are so small and are baked in mugs rather than cake pans, they can be baked in a microwave and only take 90 seconds to bake! I made one vanilla cake and one chocolate cake and decorated each of them after they baked and cooled off. Be sure the watch the video and read the directions to get the best results. Enjoy!

• 4 tablespoons flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• ½ tablespoon softened butter
• 4 tablespoons milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

• Rainbow sprinkles (optional – for decoration)

Directions:

1) Grease a mug, then set aside

2) Mix all ingredients together in either a bowl or a large measuring cup

3) Pour batter into mug (batter should fill up about ¾ of the mug)

4) Microwave the mug for 90 seconds

5) Allow mug to cool

6) Decorate and enjoy!
