CARDAMOM VANILLA MUG CAKE


I was craving something sweet and I needed it to be fast so what is my answer to my craving, mug cake yo! Before we get into the thick of things HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY! To every woman working hard to put food on the table, I salute you. Moms, sisters, aunts, daughters, nieces, grandmas every woman out there, you are special and loved. I have been thinking a lot about spices and so I decided to spice up this mug cake with one of my favorite warm spice that is cardamom. Speaking of cardamom, I used to correct people who wrote cardaMOM thinking that it was cardaMON. Am I the only one who thought that? I'm sure am not, I know you thought that too or are still thinking in that direction. Anyway apart from having a fantastic aroma, cardamom has some great health nutrients that benefit your body as a whole. To think that I lived my life without spices! I shudder. This mug cake turned out fluffy soft you would think it was baked in the oven. What has been your favorite mug cake flavour so far?

RED VELVET MUG CAKE - 7 DAYS OF RED VELVET


Guys, can you believe that tomorrow is Valentines Day? Day where there will be more chocolate, flowers and wine bought than any other time of the year! It's crazy that one day brings with it so much emotion that when the day is gone, you wonder what the fuss is all about. At least we get to celebrate love in all its glory and sweet pain. Day 6 brings us to this red velvet mug cake that takes less than 2 minutes to create. It had been a while since I made a mug cake and since yesterday we had a decadent dessert I thought why not cleanse your palates with this. I'm getting all giggly thinking about tomorrow because I haven't had a valentine day celebration in a while, you can't really ignore tomorrow since red is everywhere! Anyway before I go on a full random blubering, hope you enjoy this simple recipe I have for you.

MUG CAKE OBSESSION RECIPES

Happy New Month Loves! July is here! The second half of the year is already starting. Are you excited like I am? Well a bit anxious but happy all the same. So to kick off this second half of the year I thought I'd share with you all the mug cake recipes that made it on my blog. Last year I shared lots of Mug Cake recipes and today's post is a recap of all the delicious little desserts called Mug Cakes. Single serving desserts that you can literally whip up in less than 5 minutes and there is no limit to the types of cakes that you can make. This CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE was my very first microwave cake that turned out better than I had anticipated. I saw the trend on YouTube and I was a bit skeptical if they really tasted like real cakes. I ended up devouring the whole thing! I made many more afterwards until I decided to give other flavours a try. So below are all the mug cakes I have cooked and looking forward to making many more this year. There are so many flavour combinations out there that I am so excited to try out. Which one is your favorite and what flavours would you like to see?

WHOLEWHEAT MUG CAKE


It's been a while since I cooked a mug cake. All along I have been cooking with All Purpose Flour so I thought why not use wholewheat, to kind of give it that healthy vibe and all! Mug cakes are easy to make and takes minutes so you have your self serving dessert without waiting too long.In this cold Nairobi weather, you need a decadent dessert that will warm you up as you curl on the couch.

crunchy-peanut-butter-mug-cake-nairobi-kitchen-recipe

Today's Mugcake Monday gooooes to... drum rolls please... Crunchy Peanut Butter! So far I can say that this is my favorite Mug Cake! So puffy, soft, moist like a sponge cake. I haven't posted a Mug Cake in a while, let's just say I did one but it didn't turn out the way it was supposed to. So I decided to give it a break. Until today. When I did the Peanut Butter one. So totally worth every bite.I literally just stood there spooning it out of the Mug after the first bite. It was supposed to be for breakfast with Tea but my Tea almost went cold waiting for me to stop downing my cake. Peanut Butter is so smooth, now imagine all that silkiness in cake! I should stop ranting about it and let you try it out for yourself.

BLUE BERRY MUG CAKE


MugCake Monday here! I just love the smell of freshly baked goodies, especially in the morning. There's just something refreshing in the way ingredients morph together and cook to create an awesome dessert or breakfast meal. Blue Berries are always in season in Nairobi so I always try to incorporate them in my food. I  made Pancakes with Blue Berries, absolutely delicious! I also added them in a Yogurt Bowl. So I knew I had to make something else with them.Mug Cakes were of course the next recipe I was going to include them in. Blue Berries are healthy and filled with awesome nutrients that are good for you. I couldn't wait for this Blue Berry Mug Cake to be done! The few minutes seemed like an eternity! Once done, it was a perfect, spongy Mug Cake. Don't take my word for it, try it out and let me know!

LEMON ZEST MUG CAKE

lemon-rind-mug-cake-nairobi-kitchen-recipe

Welcome to MugCake Monday! So excited you have no idea. I've decided instead of just randomly posting Mug Cake recipes, I should dedicate a day for it. And what better day than Monday! You know, start the week on a high! If I could I would make Mug Cakes daily but we all know that's not healthy. So to cater to my sweet cakes cravings, I think once a week is enough 'crosses fingers' so help me be disciplined 😊😁.This week I have chosen to go all 'healthy' by choosing to use Lemons. I've never used Lemon so I wanted to give it a go. Just a simple Lemon Rind Mug Cake, nothing fancy or at all complicated. If it works out then we are good to go! It worked out great! Still got a crumbly Mug Cake and it still tasted great. So Lemon Rind Mug Cake, legggo!  Have you tried Lemon Rind Mug Cake? Let me know your experience!

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.

I've never really tried to bake one so I decided why not use the simplest method that I know, the Microwave Mug Cake. It's really simple and if it backfires, I can be the only one who is disappointed. I decided if this works out, then I will definitely try the Oven Baked Red Velvet Cake. And so it goes that my latest Mug Cake Obsession continues...This time we will indulge in the delicious, Classic and Moist Red Velvet Cake.Who doesn't love Red Velvet Cake? It is just the perfect treat for any occasion or just because you have a craving for something sweet and decadent.
