But since I can’t, I’m going to share the (insanely easy) recipe with you in hopes that you will make it and feel the love. And I’ll probably just go ahead and eat both of these cakes, if you don’t mind — so they don’t go to waste.
What’s the deal with mug cakes, you ask? I’ll tell you. Mug + tiny bit of Bisquick-based cake batter + sweet mix-ins like blueberries and white chocolate = CAKE. It’s really that simple, and just about the fastest way to get cake into your belly. That’s the deal with mug cakes, and that’s why I think you should make them for you and your sweetie (or best friend/sibling/Mom/kiddo/cuddly cat*) this Valentine’s Day. Here are a few other reasons:


2) Perfectly portioned mug cakes = more room for those truffles in a heart-shaped box that you may or may not have just gone ahead and bought for yourself because you can, and because everyone deserves truffles.


4) Actually I can’t think of another reason right now because all I can think about is eating one of these mug cakes.

*Just kidding don’t make these for your cat, because that is not cat-safe. Pro tip: Give him a big hug and an extra cat treat instead.

P.S. Can you do me a solid and take this quick poll for me? You’re the best.

Julie — Right? Wish I would think to make them more often (though I suppose my hips wouldn’t be too happy about it ;)).
Meagan — Lol, sorry for the unfair poll! 😉

I’m smitten with individual desserts, in mugs. So cute, and so delicious!!
