Cake in a Mug

Dump Mug Dessert

How many times have you had a dessert that not everybody liked? Here is an easy way to make an individual dessert. While I was at the gym last week a friend gave me a recipe to try, and now I want to share it with you. This recipe is so easy to make and you cook it in a microwave oven. I will show you the original recipe and different options to try. The reason I call this dump mug dessert is because you put everything in a coffee mug and you just microwave it.

Banana Streusel

3 Tablespoons Flour                                              ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder

Dash of Salt                                                             2 ½ teaspoons Sugar

1 Tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons water               1 Tablespoon mashed Banana

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Streusel Topping

¼ teaspoon Cinnamon                                         2 teaspoons Brown Sugar

2 teaspoons mashed Banana                             2 Pecans or Walnuts crumbled (Optional)

                Mix all dry ingredients in a small bowl.

Add wet ingredients until just mixed.

Combine all streusel ingredients in another small bowl.

Fill a coffee mug half full of batter.

Sprinkle 2/3 of streusel mix on top of batter.

Pour remaining batter on top and then remaining streusel topping. Add your pecans or walnuts if desired. Place in microwave oven on high for 1 to 1 and a half minutes.

Take out and place a tooth pick inside to test if batter, is cooked. The cup will be hot. Enjoy!

                Here is another version if you do not want to use bananas

Streusel Topping

2 teaspoons mashed Raspberries or Blueberries        Nuts (optional)

                Now everybody can have what they like for dessert. This was so quick and easy to make and everybody loved it. No more complaining or wasting food. You can make this anytime you like with just a few ingredients. Your children or grandchildren can make their own dessert and watch it cook in the microwave oven right in front of them.
