Okay, last week’s cookie recipe was rather indulgent. So, for for this sweet treat, I’ve pulled back a bit with a special dessert for two. I love the simple approach to baking that won’t leave us reaching for leftovers in hours (or days) to come. And the shocking factor is that a microwave really achieved the cake texture and taste. While we’re going to revamp this with some different fruit options over the spring and summer, our raspberry mug cake was the perfect place to start. See full recipe and details below.
