Funfetti Vanilla Mug Cake One Minute Microwave Cake

by Melody Thacker, in Recipes (No Comments)

If you are craving cake this quick and easy funfetti vanilla mug cake is the best. It’s a fun, one-minute microwave cake with colorful sprinkles for confetti, topped with sweet vanilla frosting.

I don’t know who discovered you could bake a cake in a cup in the microwave but it’s kind of life-changing! If I bake a full-sized cake it’s too much for my husband and me. But a mug cake is just perfect for us to share! I’ve tried a number of mug cake recipes and this one is my favorite. The frosting is optional but I highly recommend it. For your convenience, you’ll find a printable version of the recipe further down the page.
