Hi there! My name is Jessica and I blog at Jessica in the Kitchen<\/a>, a vegan recipe blog with hundreds of simple, delicious recipes. I\u2019m so excited to be guest writing on Lulus! Before our big one-month trip to South East Asia last year, I actually did a huge haul from Lulus<\/a>. Almost everything I wore there was from Lulus and I got endless questions about my outfits. So it feels very full circle to be sharing this easy mug cake recipe now as I reminisce about those fun days, digging into a bite (okay, several bites) of this apple spice confection. It fits right into my ideal fall<\/a> vibe. Whenever I think of fall, I think cozy<\/a>, warm, inviting, and best of all: desserts! I love snuggling up<\/a> with a warm dessert, and this Apple Spice Mug Cake is 100% my pick of the season.<\/p>\n\"easy\n

Speaking of which, if you\u2019ve never had a mug cake, you may be wondering–what is a mug cake?<\/p>\n\"easy\n

A mug cake is exactly what it sounds like: a single-serving cake usually whipped up in a mug and cooked quickly in it, too. It typically takes about one to two minutes to make, and the result is a fully cooked, delicious mini cake. My favorite part about this Apple Spice Mug Cake is that it\u2019s moist yet fluffy, and filled<\/em> with flavor. This cake has such a delicious cinnamon hint, not to mention bites of soft, sweet apples!<\/p>\n\"apple\n

My biggest tip when making this mug cake is to slightly cook the apples first in the same mug. That way, you don\u2019t get any weird bites of crunchy apple in between soft, fluffy bites of cake. You just get tender, near-caramelized bits, allowing you to enjoy the entire dessert. The point of this mug cake recipe is to be easy and quick. If you\u2019re feeling a little extra, though, you can even saut\u00e9 down the apples first in a pan with a little bit of vegan butter and brown sugar (or any of your favorite sugars).<\/p>\n\"spoon\n

I do hope you enjoy this apple spice cake! It tastes incredible with a dollop of coconut whipped cream, vegan ice cream, or even a streusel or crumble topping. Scroll on for the full recipe–enjoy and happy cozy season<\/a>!<\/p>\n
