What You Need

How to Make a Mug Cake with Pancake Mix

  1. Add 1/4 cup pancake mix to a microwave-safe mug.
  2. Slowly stir in water until the batter becomes thick and pasty — thicker than regular cake batter.
  3. Microwave for 60–90 seconds depending on your microwave.
  4. Let cool slightly and enjoy warm straight from the mug.

    Important Mug Cake Tip ✨

    Do not make the batter too runny. A thick, pasty batter creates the best soft and fluffy mug cake texture.
