Are you craving for something delicious? The solution comes from America… the mug cakes, mini cakes super easy to prepare, perfect for breakfast or for a break. The name mug cakes derives from the mug, the typical cup from the United States and was born to be cooked in a microwave.
Here you can find two recipes to try immediately:

Place the cup in a microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 Watt. The cake will bloat over the edge.
Leave cooling down for a while and… taste!

One more suggestion: serve it still warm paired with vanilla or milk ice cream!

As it is cooked in oven, the mug cake is not a dessert suitable to be preserved for a long period of time, thus it is preferable to eat it immediately.
