Blueberry Mug Cake Recipe
Blueberries are everywhere these days. Well, after all, it is National Blueberry Month. I would be very content with eating blueberries at every meal and definitely for every dessert. But when it’s the middle of the summer and hot and humid outside, the last thing I want to do is turn on my oven. That’s when I make my Blueberry Mug Cake With Lemon Glaze, a recipe that I developed for the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council. Hop on over to their site and you’ll find some great tips about blueberries! #ad
Mug cakes “bake” in your microwave in just minutes. With a few basic ingredients that you most likely have on hand in your kitchen, and a handful of fresh blueberries, you’ll have a quick and easy dessert ready in no time at all. Best part is, it’s the perfect serving size for just you so you won’t be tempted by slices and slices of cake calling your name! Yes, cake calls my name all the time and I answer everytime!
A 12-14 ounce mug is the perfect size for one mug cake.
