Carrot Mug Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Premium

10 min

Snack

Dessert
If you're a fan of carrot cake but can't be bothered to make a whole one, this speedy mug cake is for you. It's soft and moist, thanks to the carrots, warmly spiced with cinnamon, and finished with a quick lemony cream cheese-style frosting. Just be careful not to go overboard with the carrot, as too much can make the cake a little too wet and dense.

I don’t have a microwave. Can I make this in the air fryer ?

Heyy Christine! We haven’t tried baking a mug cake in an air fryer before, so we can’t say for sure. You could try baking it in an oven-safe dish at around 160°C (320°F), checking for doneness with a toothpick and adjusting the cooking time as needed 🤗 if you give it a try, we’d love to hear how it goes 🫶
