Vanilla Mug Cake

2 Minute Vanilla Mug Cake

I tried this really cool recipe from Table for Two Blog for Mug Cakes! It was a tasty and delicious treat that took no time at all to make. I love recipes where you can control the amount.

Making a cake when you are two people can be excessive. These mug cakes are an amazing compromise to keeping the serving sizes down and getting what you want. Try more of their recipes and let me know what you think.
