You may recall the hot cocoa mug cake that I made during finals week of last semester. Or perhaps you have forgotten it as I wish that I could. Although I consider last semester's mug cake a fail, I do still believe that the quick and easy nature of a mug cake is a great inspirational concept for finals week. I decided to make some changes to this mug cake recipe in the hopes of creating a treat with better taste and texture. Unlike hot cocoa mug cake, strawberry mug cake includes sugar and baking powder. Although it lacks the element of chocolate, it derives a sweet and fruity taste from the combination of cake and strawberries. I encourage you to take a 5 minute study break and see if an improvement has in fact been made to the mug cake recipe. All ingredients may be purchased in either Varsity Morgan or Varsity Towers. Based upon the calculated cost per serving of each ingredient, this version of mug cake will cost you $1.52. This does not include the cost of cooking spray. Good luck on finals!
