90 SECOND VEGAN MUG CAKE

, , ,

Let’s paint a picture: you’re home alone and you’re about 15 minutes away from watching the new Bachelor. You already have eaten dinner and have your wine set up but now you are missing something sweet. Introducing the answer to all your problems – the 90 Second Vegan Mug Cake!

90 seconds, NO fuss, NO egg replacements, just simple ingredients we all have in our homes! SWEET BLISS! I have made this cake countless times and it is a beginner-friendly way to enjoy a personalized vanilla cake! AKA bulletproof!

Now, since I’ve made this cake a billion and one times, I know all the ways you can mess this pup up. The golden rule will be to use a mug that is wide, not too skinny otherwise the bits will fall out while you microwave it. Other than that, feel free to have fun with the recipe! You can add some cinnamon for a snickerdoodle cake, or pumpkin spice seasoning for a “pumpkin spice cake’ or even keep it simple and top with strawberries for a strawberry short cake. I guess you can say, this recipe is universal!

This cake is moist, fluffy, and freaking addicting. No one knew a little cake can have it all (or maybe I did). Spend your days and nights curled up in bed with this, and I promise you won’t regret it! Feel free to top the cake with icing, fruit, vegan whipped cream, chocolate, vegan yogurt… the list goes on and on! So please, without further a due, enjoy vegan lovas.

5 MINUTE PUMPKIN SPICE MUG CAKE

, , ,

Vegan Lovas!!!! This is one of the recipes I am most proud of because it’s quick, easy, and fall-inspired. I have been dedicated to making the perfect mug cake ever since I realized how tasty and efficient they are (I mean hello this is made in three easy steps!) Also, I have a pesky sweet tooth every now and then and this is the perfect dessert to sneak in the middle of the night (don’t tell Fabio). Now, mug cakes are easy but take serious trial and error. I’ve made over 15 mug cakes that were almost there but not quite right. Therefore I have a ton of tips on how to make the perfect mug cake and I have broken it down into three easy rules.

First being: USE A WIDE LARGER MUG similar to the one I have posted below. The reason being the smaller and more delicate, the more likely the cake will ooze out in the microwave process (trust me I have seen it). It’s best to be safe and use a wider mug to ensure you dont have to pick up your mess. I mean who wants to clean after their midnight snack?

The second being: MASH YOUR PUMPKIN BEFOREHAND. Even if it’s already in a puree form its easy to sometimes have clumps. Trust me just mash your pumpkin prior to putting it in the mug with the other ingredients. It only leads to clumps and we don’t want that! We want a smooth, fluffy, and moist texture!

Third and Last: Allow your mug cake it rest before digging in. I know, I know… it’s tempting but allowing it to cool before digging in gives it time to set and enjoy! It’ll all be worth it in the end when you’re in bed watching Girlfriends ( oh Joan, we are here for you girl) eating your perfect pumpkin spice mug cake.

Ok! Now that all the rules are out the way we can get into the recipe! I promised I wouldn’t become one of those bloggers that gabbed too much before the recipe! Enjoy vegan lovas, I know I did!
