4-Minute Carrot Cake in A Jar

Welcome back to Jaime’s Lazy Late Night Cooking Corner, the show where I whip up last-minute single serve microwave treats every Thursday while wearing my robe. This week we are celebrating Easter with a recipe for the easiest carrot cake ever – 4-minute microwave carrot cake in a jar, with bonus super quick cream cheese frosting. I mean, I could easily just eat the frosting in a jar and be satisfied, but this is a nutty, spicey, delicious microwave mug cake that’s just about as good as the real thing.

Made this last night and it was perfect! I didn’t have granulated sugar (don’t know how that happened) but used 1/4 cup brown sugar instead and wowzer this was a delicious treat to end our meal with! Thank you for posting. Desert really is the whole point of the meal and cake is much better then silly lollipops.

Actually I found there to be a little too much batter for a regular mug so I used a shallow bowl. Was enough for a family of four to each have a small muffin size serving.
