How to Make a Cake in a Mug is a lot easier to make than you think. In fact, you’ll wonder why you ever bought those boxed mixes that require six different bowls and a hand mixer.
Now you can make cake from scratch without all those annoying bowls!
So, I sprayed my mug with a non-stick cooking spray. I used the microwave for this cake, but it can be baked in an oven as well. The oven temperature for baking is 350 degrees F for about 12 minutes – that’s about three minutes per layer.
This cute little cake is perfect for that after-dinner treat, or it’s great for breakfast if you’re that kind of person. Either way, it’s super simple to make, and will take less than 5 minutes of active work on your part.
The wonderful thing about this recipe is that you don’t have to use just one mug or one type of mug. You can use different mugs in varied sizes for different portions. So, if you just want a little bite of cake, use a smaller mug. If you have company, use larger mugs.
To celebrate Fall, I know you will love the following recipe. This is so simple, so let’s get baking. Here’s what you’ll need:
Pumpkin Spice Latte Mug Cakes

2 Tablespoons butter, melted and cooled

1/2 Teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Pinch of salt
Whipped cream, for serving
Ground cinnamon, for serving

- In a small bowl, beat melted butter, egg, espresso, and pumpkin with whisk. Add the sugar, Bisquick mix, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Mix until incorporated; batter may be lumpy.
- Divide batter between 2 microwavable mugs. Microwave uncovered on High 2 minutes. Cool a few minutes before serving.
- Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Tips from Nana’s Kitchen
TIP #1: If you want to save on cleaning, mix up the batter in one mug, and then pour half of it into the other mug.
TIP #2: If you are not a fan of coffee, you can use other liquids such as water, buttermilk, Chi Tea, milk, etc.
