Whip up a quick dessert with this colorful vanilla funfetti mug cake that literally takes two minutes to make!

We have a serious sweet tooth in our family. I never know when one of us gets the hankering for a slice of cake or a toothsome cupcake. And you know what? I have developed a neat trick that keeps the family happy.

It’s mug cake! All the flavor of a cake in small individual portions that can quickly be whipped up in a microwave. Yep! Just whisk all your ingredients together in a large mug, zap it in the oven for a minute till done.

And there you have it, a delightful treat in two minutes flat. Like a traditional cake, you can add any flavorings to your basic mug cake recipe. My son loves sprinkles on everything, so I regularly make him this vanilla funfetti cake. It takes just a few simple ingredients and is so colorful and delicious.

You can use any sort of sprinkles or nonpareils to make your funfetti mug cake. If you like, you can mix in some chocolate chips as well. How fun!
