    I love single-serving desserts, and these easy mug cake recipes come in a variety of delectable flavors that can satisfy any craving! With just a few minutes in the microwave, you can have a rich, decadent dessert ready to be devoured- all you need is a spoon!

    The Most Delicious Mug Cakes!

    Mug cakes have taken off in popularity in recent years, and for good reason! Sometimes you just need a sweet treat to yourself to curb that dessert craving.

    If you're like me, keeping a whole tray of brownies or chocolate chip cookies on the counter means you'll be inadvertently snacking on them 24/7. Single-serving microwaveable mug cakes are the perfect solution!
