Spice Mug Cake (A Multi-verse Cake)

If you don’t like wasting food, I hear you! I don’t like throwing out leftovers that didn’t get eaten or frozen before time expired. It’s money down the drain, so to speak. I’ve learned a lot about being resourceful over the years, how to repurpose or use up “whatever is in the fridge.”

My Apple Dump Cake recipe uses about ¾ of a box of dry cake mix. Even though you didn’t spend a lot of money on the cake mix itself, who wants to throw out the remaining mix? Not me. With less than half a box, this is what I came up with…another Multi-verse Cake!… single serve version.

Note: I have not tried this recipe with any other cake mix flavor. I would imagine it would have the same results, but I have not personally tested.

I tried this recipe with oil, apple butter, and also canned pumpkin puree. All three resulted in a moist mug cake. The addition of pumpkin pie spice added some extra flavor. You could use pie spice instead, if you’d like, or just cinnamon. The options are plentiful.

Whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, and/or caramel drizzle adds sweetness and creaminess that is simply delicious!
