  • Author: Rita
  • Total Time: 3 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Description

A quick and cozy candy corn mug cake made with self-rising flour, milk, and melted candy corn the perfect single-serve fall dessert ready in minutes.


Ingredients

56 pieces candy corn
1 tablespoon water
5 tablespoons self-rising flour
½–1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
4 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter
Whipped cream, extra candy corn, or glaze for topping (optional)


Instructions

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine candy corn and water. Microwave in 10–15 second intervals until fully melted to make a glaze.
In a microwave-safe mug, mix vegetable oil, milk, and sugar.
Add self-rising flour and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon some of the melted candy corn glaze into the mug. Swirl with a toothpick for a marbled effect.
Microwave the mug cake for 45 seconds to 1 minute, until the top is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let it cool for 1 minute before topping.
Top with whipped cream, remaining glaze, or extra candy corn and serve warm.

Notes

Use a wide mug to prevent overflow.
You can replace self-rising flour with 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour + ½ teaspoon baking powder + pinch of salt.
Reduce added sugar if your candy corn is especially sweet.
