ZEBRA CAKE MUG CAKE

zebra-cake-mug-cake-nairobi-kitchen-recipe

I don't seem to be getting tired of Mug Cakes, yet, as you can see here, here, and here, it all started with this and it's been downhill from there, or should I say MugCake Hill from there. I can't promise that this will be my last Mug Cake since I want to do all and any flavor I can get my hands on. Today we try out the Zebra Cake Mug Cake. Zebra Cakes are in themselves just awesome Cakes to bake and so I just had to have a mini version of that Cake! So far this is my best Mug Cake that I have made, it turned out moist and the alternating layers of Chocolate and Vanilla were very visible, so it didn't all mush together and be all not beautiful.This Mug Cake is Egg-less yet it is still tasty what more can I say than my Mug Cake journey has been set and the destiny is new Mug Cakes every other week, if possible every other day, I kid not. Who wouldn't want to indulge in a yummy treat that takes less than five minutes to prepare, cook and eat? Let me know if you are still a fan of Mug Cakes and what flavors you have tried.
