I love to bake, but I sometimes dread having leftover cupcakes or cake sitting around my place. If I have nowhere to bring my baking creations, the sweets taunt me every time I pass then, until they have eventually used their brain-washing powers to make me think that they are an acceptable meal.
So how do you combat a dessert craving without the devilish leftovers? That is when the mug cake comes in handy.
It’s so simple: It includes all of the classic cake ingredients, but it’s mixed in a coffee mug and baked in the microwave. This recipe, of course, has a twist to it, but still is not complicated. The peanut butter mousse topping adds that little something extra. Of course, the dish is rather sweet. I ate mine with a large glass of milk.
