Sometimes you just want a homemade treat when/because you're alone, but you lack the ambition to dirty a whole bunch of cooking utensils and wait 40 minutes for a pan of something sugary to cook, only to then take 2,000 calories to your regretful, lonely face.
That's where delicious, easy, and nearly instantaneous microwavable cakes come in. We’ve got your feeding fix for one right here with these eight mug cake recipes.
