Sometimes making desserts can be a long and tedious task, but these three easy mug cake pinterest recipes by Lauren Allen, fivehearthome.com and kirbiecravings are super easy, quick and delicious to make.

The first mug cake was a chocolate mug cake. The baking time called for one minute, but 15 seconds extra in the microwave benefitted the recipe. All in all, it took five minutes.

The second mug cake was a peanut butter chocolate chip mug cake. The baking time was also one minute which worked well. The recipe called for creamy butter but regular peanut butter also works.

The third mug cake was a snickerdoodle mug cake, with the baking time called for 1-1:30 minutes, 1:20 minutes was perfect. Adding the cinnamon in the middle of the cake helped enhance the cinnamon flavor.  

Overall the mug cakes were a success and making these cakes are perfect if you’re looking for a quick, easy and single serving dessert. If you’re looking to make these recipes yourself, try not to cook the cakes for longer than one minute before checking it with a toothpick. It also doesn’t hurt to add a few extra chocolate chips per cake.
