Strawberry cake in a mug recipe that uses just 2 ingredients and takes just 1 minute in the microwave! So moist, it’s the perfect dessert for one! There’s no egg or milk so it’s great for everyone.

Yes…I’m back again with a new mug dessert recipe! This time it’s a perfectly pink strawberry cake in a mug recipe with just 3 ingredients! This is so easy to do. With this trick you can make chocolate cake in a mug too. We’ve been wild about mug recipes this year. Now we’re all about creating new ones like this!

Mug Cake with Cake Mix

First we made a chocolate chip cookie in a mug and it went crazy on our Facebook page! That one was homemade with flour, sugar and a few other ingredients from the pantry. From scratch is great but a cake mix mug cake is even easier. You can make all different kinds of flavors using a boxed mix too.

Then angel food cake in a mug made us thing about tweaking it into this! I mean who doesn’t love a bit of fresh fruit flavors…..

Cake Mix Mug Cake

Doesn’t this look yummy??!! We’ve experimented a lot with easy mug cake recipe ideas since our first dessert in a mug last month. Since my youngest loves strawberry we decided to try that flavor this time.

We created angel food in a mug (which we will post soon) and this cake mix along with the strawberry cake mix creates a lighter texture than just making strawberry cake for one in a mug alone.

You pop it in the microwave after mixing it with a bit of water for 1 minute and it’s done to perfection! Just as fluffy as if you were to make it in a pan in your oven baked for over half an hour. Yet perfect for one serving and just enough for after dinner or late at night.

Strawberry Cake in a Mug

Like I said, really any type of cake mix will work when mixing it with angel food cake mix for this dessert in a mug. Mix both boxes together in a bowl and mix really well, then store the rest for later. You will need:

1. Large coffee mug (or else it will boil over in the microwave)
2. One box angel food cake mix
3. 1 box cake mix of your choice (we used strawberry here)
4. water
5. Plastic container to store rest of mix

All you do is microwave on high for 1 minute!

Now just get a large plastic container out – this will hold everything

• Empty the contents of both the box of angel food cake and the other type of regular cake mix you want into it and mix until they’re combined well.
• Then you have your cake in a mug mix ready to use whenever.
