You won’t see us passing up carrot cake in a hurry. And why should we when it’s this easy to make? If you have a mug and a microwave, you’ll have a delicious dessert in just minutes. 

Ingredients:

  • 1½ tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons finely shredded carrot

Method:

  1. Combine the melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, milk, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon in a mug. Stir or whisk the ingredients until smooth. Fold in the shredded carrots.
  2. Microwave the mug cake for one to one-and-a-half minutes. Begin checking at 1 minute. The cake should look set but not overcooked and dry.
  3. Allow the cake to cool before topping with whipped cream, cream cheese glaze, or powdered sugar.
