Your microwave is capable of doing more than simply heating up food. You can use it to whip up a delicious treat in just a matter of minutes. Mug cakes are an easy shortcut to baking a simple cake without having to work for hours measuring, mixing and baking a larger cake. If you have any, get your kids involved in the fun process.

The preparation process for making most mug cakes is pretty much the same. You can fill up as many mugs as you like and flavour them with an array of fillings and toppings.
