Blueberry mug cake

So far all the mug cakes recipes I’ve come across have all been chocolate. While I love chocolate cakes, sometimes I’m in the mood for something lighter and more refreshing like a white cake with fresh fruit.

So I set about trying to create a simple white cake. And since blueberries were on sale, I added some fresh blueberries to the batter. My first attempt was a failure. But on my second attempt, I create a pretty fluffy mug cake filled with fresh berries. Delicious.

The cake did lose some of its softness after it cooled so it’s best eaten warm. I am pretty pleased with this recipe though I might experiment a little bit more to see if I can create an even softer and fluffier cake. This cake was so easy to make. Just as easy as all the other mug cake recipes and only needed 1 1/2 minutes to cook.

These mug recipes are so awesome. A dessert I can make for myself, and not have to share with anyone

I’m so excited that you made this recipe! It’s about time. I LOVE blueberry pie, but obviously it’s not really the kind of thing you can just “make for dessert” one night. You need a plan and a lot of people. This is PERFECT for me and I can’t wait to try it out!

  I’m surprised I haven’t seen more mug cake recipes out there other than variations on chocolate. I hope to correct that!

Seriously. I’m just surfing around, minding my own business, when I come across one of your current ‘mud cakes’ on Food Gawker. This was at 10:10 pm. tonight (EST) Curious, I come here, and I find this blueberry mud cake. A MUD cake? Hmmm… I ask myself ‘could this really work?’ And it so happens that I have some frozen blueberries that I picked in the summer. Happy serendipity. So I whip this up. It is now 10:33 and the cake has been created, cooked, cooled and consumed. And I am sitting here, shocked, yet happy. Did that really just happen? I head to our lake house tomorrow where there is a full pantry, and leftover Nutella and Peanut Butter from Christmas baking. You are my new best friend, and yet, somehow, I think you could be dangerous. Hugs from Lisa. PS. Frozen blueberries work beautifully.

10:39 pm is past my bedtime…I meant mug cake. Not mud cake Do you have a version with Kahlua by any chance?

  I’m so glad you like it! These are so easy it is very dangerous. No Kaluha one yet, though funny you should ask because just today I thought I should try making one. Thanks for the really sweet comments!

  I’m sorry you feel that way. I liked it and I know other people who have. But of course everyone’s tastes are different.
