When you customize your mug cake recipes, opt to use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour because the leavening agents are already mixed into self-rising flour. If you use all-purpose flour, you will need to add 1 teaspoon baking powder per 1 cup flour and mix well, to make self-rising flour. Put it into a lidded container, jar, or Hefty Freezer bag to use as needed. If you use buttermilk, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda per cup of flour. When you add egg, beat it with a fork, and use 1 teaspoon of it for one mug cake recipe. Use the rest of the egg with a quick splash of heavy cream or milk to make yourself a scrambled egg to cook for 1 minute and 15 seconds on high in your microwave, and enjoy with toasted bread spread with Wholly Classic Guacamole 2 oz. and a 4 oz. applesauce cup for a meal. If you use too much egg in a mug cake, it will make it too spongey.
Remember that a mug cake or a mug meal is just one serving, so do try to make your customized mug meal recipes, by simply dividing the ingredients listed in a recipe to make one serving. Mug meals take longer to cook than a mug cake does, but they are still way faster than regular cooking would be, and you have no leftovers to store. With most mug recipes, you only have one dish and your silverware to wash, after you eat. Please remember that current microwave ovens do not brown foods unless you have a microwave browning pan to use with canned butter spray, or just use toppings as a garnish after it is done cooking. Foods can burn quickly when overcooked in microwave ovens. You might try making a Microwave Caramel Food Coloring Spray. The recipe for it is on my Miscellaneous Recipes website. The link is on my main Recipes Index website.
Here is a sugar-free Angelfood Cake Mix recipe that people who cannot eat sugar can use:
ANGELFOOD CAKE MIX (Sugar-free recipe)
1 cup sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1-1/2 cups Splenda or 1 teaspoon Stevia powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1-1/2 cups powdered egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla powder
Mix all ingredients in a quart-sized Hefty Freezer bag, and label it. To make one mug cake, use 3 Tablespoons of the mix and mix with 3 Tablespoons water, milk, buttermilk, or juice until smooth and creamy in a large 16 oz. mug or bowl. Place in the microwave to cook for one minute on high. Remove. Top as desired.
You can use Carob Powder if you cannot use Cocoa Powder. Just use the same amounts in any recipe. Sweet Carob Baking Chips can be used instead of chocolate chips in any recipes where you cannot eat chocolate. Carob contains no caffeine, so you can make a mug of hot carob anytime you want it. Carob tastes like chocolate but has no chocolate in it.
You might also want to experiment with mixing soft drinks into cake mixes. Just those two ingredients, 3 Tablespoons of each, mixed well in a mug then microwaving on high for one minute, will produce a single-serving microwave mug cake, presenting you with a large variety of possibilities for recipes you can create as desserts or snacks. For people who want a larger serving, use 5 Tbsp. cake mix and 5 Tbsp. soft drink and increase the cooking time to 90 seconds on high in the microwave.
The following Angelfood Complete Cake Mix recipes already have egg whites mixed into the package when you buy them. Each box should make about twelve individual mug cakes. Purchase 3 boxes to last one person for a month of mug cakes made daily. Read labels carefully to make sure the product does not contain ingredients to which you are allergic, and do your research online to find substitutions you can use to make your cake mixes when you cannot find what you need in your local grocery stores or online. Always read the ingredients labels please, as most store-bought cake mixes now contain xanthan gum and canola oil. Contact companies who manufacture cake mixes and ask them to please remove xanthan gum and canola oil from the ingredients used in all products.
To make Whipped Cream, add heavy cream to your blender. Add the lid. Whip for one to two minutes or until stiff peaks form. You can add any type of sweetener you normally use to flavor it. Use to top mug cakes when done. Overwhipping heavy cream turns it into butter, which can be used like butter without all those extra ingredients listed on labels. Only make enough to last you for a couple of days because fresh whipped cream or butter won't keep very long.

Add 3 Tbsp. Orange Juice, Pineapple Juice, or water and mix well with a spoon. Microwave on high for two minutes, or until the center of the top is firm, not wet, and the sides of the cake begin to pull away from the mug. When done, I like to add as toppings: Caramel Sauce, Toasted Coconut, and more chopped nuts. Nuts.com sells diced glazed citrons and diced glazed mixed fruits and glazed red and green cherries and chopped nuts to make homemade Fruitcake. Their glazed mixed peel contains diced red and green cherries, pineapple, and citrons, so it's not necessary to buy the extra cherries, to be more frugal. Once you try their products, you most likely won't go back to the stuff you can buy at a local grocery store. I am so happy with this recipe that God inspired me to create, so I can have Fruitcake quickly year-round now. It is delicious! It's hard to find a good ready-made Fruitcake, and to make one at home takes a lot of energy and time, but this recipe is one you will want to keep to use often if you enjoy Fruitcake during the Holiday Season or all year.
Keep in stock at home to make yourself a mug of Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa Mix with Marshmallows 30 count package, because it is so delicious to drink during the Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, and Valentine's Day Holidays!

Make yourself a mug of hot Alpine Spiced Cider Mix to drink because it is delicious! I suggest keeping several boxes of ten packets each in stock at home so you can make it anytime you want. Amazon and Walmart sell Alpine Spiced Cider Mix.

True Orange and True Grapefruit or any of their wonderful flavors could also be used to make a Mug Cake. They make great water enhancers to mix into the water you drink every day to stay hydrated. You can also take 1 Tablespoon of Grandma's Molasses every morning, as the ingredients in it are the same electrolytes your body needs to stay hydrated. To determine how many ounces of pure filtered water you need to drink within a 24-hour time frame, divide your current weight by 2. The answer is how many ounces your body needs in 24 hours. You can still dehydrate even if you are in a shaded area when it is hot outside. It is good to purchase a high-quality countertop water filter to install easily on your kitchen faucet that removes pathogens and additives from local water sources. One filter lasts me for about 4 years. If you don't like your local plain water, try adding flavored water enhancers. Crush brand, liquid Pineapple and liquid Watermelon flavors are so delicious added to ice-cold water. Great Value at Walmart sells a liquid water enhancer called Coconut Lime that tastes delicious. A large variety of different flavors of water enhancers are available online at Walmart.com and Amazon.com to purchase and have delivered to your home.

They also sell Sweet Carob Baking Chips that you can use instead of Chocolate Chips.

I did some experimenting with 5 Tbsp. Betty Crocker Gingerbread Cake and Cookie Mix and 5 Tbsp. DaVinci Spicy Ginger Syrup, mixing it together with a fork until well combined. I put it in a deep bowl in the microwave on high for 3 minutes. What I made was a Spicy Gingerbread Syrup, that I plan to use as a topping for my Betty Crocker Gingerbread Cake Mix. I followed the directions on the box, then I poured it into a GV butter sprayed 8x8-inch silicone square pan. I microwaved it on high for 8 minutes or when the center was set and the sides were pulling away from the pan. I let it cool, then I sliced it into 9 large squares. I topped it with Caramel Sauce and some of the DaVinci Spicy Ginger Syrup. It was so delicious! You might want to try that recipe, now as well. I originally purchased the DaVinci Spicy Gingerbread Syrup on Amazon.com to add to cheaper bottles of ginger ale to make it taste much bolder and spicier. It works great for that purpose. You can add as much or as little as your taste preferences are.
It is so much fun to get creative in my kitchen. Here are more free tips: Buy Walmart's Great Value Ginger Ale currently in 2024 for a dollar for a two-liter bottle, and add whatever amount your taste prefers to each glass you pour to make a spicier bolder ginger ale. It is so delicious! Amazon.com sells DaVinci Syrups in a large variety of flavors you can purchase and have delivered to your home, that you can also use as extracts in your recipes. You can quickly turn a 6 ounce Snack Pack Vanilla Pudding Cup into whatever flavor you want to create by stirring into it whatever amount of syrup is needed to get the flavor you desire to create.

Try mixing 3 Tbsp. of any of your favorite soft drinks with 3 Tbsp. Angelfood Cake Mix to create customized Mug Cakes of your own. Microwave for 1 minute on high.
29. Mix 3 Tbsp. Angelfood Complete Cake Mix, 2 or more crushed Peppermint candies or 2 Tbsp. Rainbow Candy Sprinkles, with 3 Tbsp. water until well blended. Put in the microwave and cook for one minute on high. Remove. Top with 3 Tbsp. ready-made White Fluffy Frosting. Crush more Peppermint candy or 2 Tbsp.

Nuts.com sells the Sprinkles in a variety of colors. Walmart.com and Amazon.com sell Crushed Peppermint Candy.
30. In a large 16 oz. butter sprayed mug, mix 4 Tbsp. Angelfood Complete Cake Mix, 2 Tbsp. any flavored baking chips, with 4 Tbsp. water until well blended. Put in the microwave and cook for 1-1/2 minutes on high. Remove. Top with 3 Tbsp. either Fluffy White Frosting or Chocolate Frosting to make Any Flavored Baking Chips Mug Cake. Or match your Frosting with the flavor of baking chips used.
31. In a large 16 oz. butter sprayed mug, mix 3 Tbsp. Angelfood Complete Cake Mix, 1/2 teaspoon Cocoa Powder or Carob Powder, with 3 Tbsp. water until well blended. Put in the microwave and cook for one minute on high. Remove. Top with 1 Tbsp. each Shredded Toasted Coconut, chopped Pecans, and Smucker's Sugar-Free Caramel Sauce to make a German Chocolate Mug Cake.
32. In a large 16 oz. butter sprayed mug, mix 3 Tbsp. Angelfood Complete Cake Mix, 1 teaspoon of ground Cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of ground Ginger, until blended well, then add 3 Tbsp. water, and mix well with a spoon. Put in the microwave on high and cook for one minute. Remove, and add as a topping 2 Tablespoons Smucker's Sugar-Free Caramel Sauce.

33. Whisk together 6 Tbsp. Angelfood Complete Cake Mix, 3 Tbsp. chopped walnuts, with 4 Tbsp. plain Greek yogurt and 2 Tbsp. Banana Extract until smooth in a quart-sized bowl. Microwave it for 2 minutes on high. Top with Smucker's Sugar-Free Caramel Sauce. I used Banana Extract and Walnuts because I like them, but any extract or fruits and nuts that go well together could be used, as well as any canned pie filling for the topping. It tastes like an Old Fashioned Homemade Cheesecake without needing to let it cool and set in the refrigerator before you eat it. God gave me this recipe. I have found plain Greek yogurt works well as a substitute for cream cheese in recipes using the same amounts. I plan on making other flavors, like vanilla with strawberry pie filling on top when done, or almond extract and cherry pie filling on top when done. Just make sure the liquid and cake mix are in equal portions, counting any extract as part of your liquid. The stronger the extract you use, the less of it you will need to flavor it.
34. Whisk together 3 Tbsp. Angelfood Complete Cake Mix, 1 tsp. Orange Extract, 3 Tbsp. NFC FL Naturals Orange Juice, and 12 drops Sweet Leaf Valencia Orange Liquid Stevia in a large 16 oz. mug.

Remove. Top with more Bavarian Cream Filling and Whipped Cream. Make yourself a large mug of Folger's Decaf or Regular Instant Coffee with Great Value Hazelnut Liquid Creamer or Great Value Half and Half added to suit your taste, then add 8 drops of Sweet Leaf Valencia Orange Liquid Stevia to it. My Bavarian Orange Cream Mug Cake goes perfect for dessert with my French Night Dinner of Chicken Breast ala Orange, Potatoes au Gratin, Herbed Whole Green Beans Almondine, and warm Butter Croissants. Another easy and quick dessert is Bavarian Cream Filling or one 5.5 oz. Vanilla Pudding Cup placed into a ramekin or dessert dish, then topped with purchased Caramel Sauce to make Creme Brulee. You could also use some microwave melted brown sugar spread evenly over the top of the pudding. The topping will harden as it cools. Use a spoon to break it up as you eat it.
Make a quick and easy Tiramisu Tart by using one 5.5 ounce Vanilla Pudding cup to which you stir in up to 1 teaspoonful of any instant coffee powder you like until smooth and creamy. Buy a package of ready-made shortbread tart shells at Walmart.com. There are 12 to one package. Fill each tart shell with the coffee-flavored Vanilla Pudding. Keep them in your refrigerator in the container they come in to use for 12 individual desserts. They make a great dessert to serve with your Italian Night Dinners.
Would you enjoy Fruit or Berry Cobblers For One cooked in your stove oven? My favorite is to use one-half of a 15 oz. can of Bruce's Candied Yams as the base for Sweet Potato Cobbler For One. I use the other half for a side dish for a meal. Here is what you need to pour evenly over the top of them to form the Cobbler crust: In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup self-rising flour, 1/4 cup Splenda, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, and 1/4 cup melted butter to combine well. Pour carefully and evenly in a single layer over the top of whichever fruit or berries (1 cup) you are using into a butter-sprayed 10 oz. ramekin. You can use any canned pie filling for convenience. Do NOT stir the crust into them. Place it on a baking sheet to catch any spills in your stove oven. Bake at 350 degrees for about half an hour, or until the crust is golden brown. Remove carefully using silicone gloves because it will be very hot. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or canned whipped cream, and enjoy.
