My 3-Ingredient Mug Cake Is So Easy, I Have It Memorized (Boxed Cake Trick!)

By Jan Valdez

I always have a box of cake mix tucked away in my pantry, but let’s be honest — I don’t always have the time (or the motivation) to bake a full cake. That’s where this trick comes in: With just three ingredients and a microwave, you can turn a few spoonfuls of cake mix into a warm, single-serving dessert in minutes. The best part is that it works with pretty much any boxed cake mix flavor you’ve got on hand.
