Strawberry Mug Cake

This recipe is so quick and simple to make! Its delicious strawberry flavor is to die for and is so addicting. It is ready in no time and the cute pink color is so alluring that everyone will want a bite. I love adding chopped strawberries in and on top with a dollop of my homemade whipped cream. I normally need to double or triple this recipe because everyone is always asking me to make it!

Key Ingredients You’ll Need

Flour: You will need all-purpose flour for the best results along with baking powder to allow the cake to rise.

Bailey’s: You will need Bailey’s strawberries and cream along with fresh strawberries for more flavor.

Food Coloring Gel: You will need neon pink food coloring gel. I use gel food coloring because it blends into the batter the easiest.

How To Make Strawberry Mug Cake

Step 1. Add the milk, oil, flour, sugar, baking powder, Bailey’s strawberries and cream, and 1 drop of the food coloring into a 12-ounce heat-safe mug and combine until fully incorporated. Cook the batter for 1 minute in the microwave before taking it out. If it looks really shiny, has a slight jiggle, or is runny cook for an additional 10 seconds.

Step 2. Take it out and allow it to cool slightly for 2 minutes. Add a dollop of whipped cream on top with one whole strawberry. Serve and enjoy!
