Description
If you’re craving something sweet but don’t want the hassle of baking a full dessert, this Glaze Donut Mug Cake is the perfect solution.
Ingredients
For the Mug Cake:
- ¼ cup pancake mix
- 2 tablespoons milk (any kind)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (or erythritol for a sugar-free version)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil
For the Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ to 1 teaspoon milk
- Drop of vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Mix Your Batter
In your mug, mix the pancake mix, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until you get a smooth, thick batter. Scrape down the sides to avoid any dry flour pockets.
Step 2: Microwave the Cake
Microwave the mug on high for 60–90 seconds. The cake should rise and look fluffy. It’s done when the top is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 3: Make the Glaze
In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with just enough milk to create a thick but pourable glaze. Add a tiny drop of vanilla if you like.
Step 4: Drizzle and Serve
Once the mug cake is slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. Add sprinkles or cinnamon sugar if you’re feeling extra fun.
Notes
- Don’t over-mix: Stir just until combined to keep the cake light.
- Use the right size mug: Too small, and the batter might overflow.
- Don’t overcook: Start with 60 seconds, then add 10-second bursts if needed.
