Notes
Variations: Use any cake mix flavor like Chocolate, yellow, white, red velvet, spice cake, lemon cake, strawberry cake, etc. Avoid Angel food cake for best results.Recipe Tips: Halve the recipe for a smaller portion by using ¼ cup of cake mix and 2 tablespoons of water, microwaving for about 30 seconds. A slightly wet spot on the top center is normal and will evaporate as the cake cools.Recipe Add-Ins: Optionally, add 1-2 tablespoons of chocolate chips, sprinkles, shredded coconut, carrots, or zucchini. Topping the mug cake with whipped cream or powdered sugar is simple and optional.
